city architecture
Metropolitan built environment
City architecture encompasses the design, style, and physical character of buildings within urban areas, considered collectively.
The term often appears in discussions of urban planning, historic preservation, or aesthetic identity: The city architecture of Barcelona reflects Gaudí's influence.
It can describe everything from skyline silhouettes to street-level facades, capturing how buildings shape a city's visual and functional character.
