cityscape

A cityscape is what you see when you look at a big city from afar. It's like a giant painting with buildings, roads, and maybe even people moving around.

When we talk about cityscapes, we're usually thinking about how cities look from a bird's-eye view. You might see a lot of skyscrapers, busy streets, or famous landmarks. City planners and architects often use the word to describe their designs for new buildings or neighborhoods. They want to create a cityscape that's not just functional but also beautiful and appealing to live in. For example, someone might say, "This new development is going to change the cityscape of downtown," meaning it'll add some fresh and exciting features to the area.
