Edinburgh’s skyline is maintained through the preservation of key views, Vancouver has protected view corridors and London’s policy includes a view management framework with 27 protected and strategic vistas. Preserved views hope to protect important, historic and well-loved sights of cities – and in the process, shape their development and identity.
These protected views are determined by city authorities, but we want to hear from you: what views in your city do you think should be preserved? What do they show and why do you love them? Wherever you are in the world, share your photos and stories of your favourite city views with GuardianWitness and we’ll feature a selection on Guardian Cities.
