urban landscape
City's visual environment
Urban landscape describes the visual character and physical features of a city or town—its buildings, streets, infrastructure, and public spaces considered as a whole.
The term appears in architecture, urban planning, and photography to discuss how built environments look and feel: The urban landscape of Tokyo mixes neon signage with ancient temples.
It can also refer to artistic depictions of city scenes.
