In some way describe a town or city
represents an attempt to understand our experience of the city
shows a dedication to the subject, expressed through a body of work rather than isolated images
concentrates on structures or processes rather than on people
may deal in either details or a broader view
Urban landscape may be in black and white or colour, subminiature camera or large format, using any process, although this site will restrict itself to still photography. Urban landscape is distinct from 'street photography', which looks at urban experience largely through a study of the people who live it, although the two genres may overlap. Urban landscape photographs often include people, but they are cleary situated and existing in the structures of the town or city.

An urban area is characterized by higher population density and vast human features in comparison to areas surrounding it. Urban areas may be cities, towns or conurbations, but the term is not commonly extended to rural settlements such as villages and hamlets.
Urban areas are created and further developed by the process of urbanization. Measuring the extent of an urban area helps in analyzing population density and urban sprawl, and in determining urban and rural populations (Cubillas 2007).
