wide view

Broad visual scope

A wide view takes in a broad expanse or comprehensive scope.

Literally, it describes seeing a large area at once: The hilltop offered a wide view of the valley.

Figuratively, it means considering something from multiple angles or with broad perspective: Taking a wide view of the situation, the policy makes sense.
