Urban visual landscapes refer not only to the physical manifestations of various material forms composed of urban physical environments and urban life but also to the overall comprehensive perception dominated by vision. Evaluating urban landscapes visually essentially involves judging the value of urban physical environments at the visual level. Only when value orientations align can consensus be reached in landscape evaluation. After discussing value orientations and standards, this book explores the methods of urban landscape visual evaluation and systematically elaborates on the theoretical foundations, basic methods, and advantages and disadvantages of different evaluation models. It also delves into the subjective perception of urban visual landscapes and the methods for describing objective visual scenes. This book is suitable for staff engaged in urban landscape construction and urban planning management, as well as design professionals involved in urban planning, urban design, and landscape design.
