Townscapes (representations)

Scope note

Use for creative works that depict settlements that may be considered towns or villages. For creative works depicting settlements that may be considered cities, use "cityscapes." For images that seem more documentary than creative, prefer "views" or "topographical views." To designate the actual built forms of towns or cities as perceived visually and aesthetically, use "townscapes (built environment)."
