This article relies on a combination of digital and analog data to analyze the 2D urban development of al-ʿAqaba and Jallūm districts in the Old City of Aleppo. The dataset consists of vectorized historical maps of the city spanning various historical periods. The oldest map in the collection dates back to the 1900s. Additionally, there are high-resolution orthomosaics created from a 3D model obtained through Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and Aerial Photogrammetry techniques. Through the analysis and integration of these various data types, the article proposes an analog-digital workflow that tracks the alterations in the urban fabric of the designated study area. The analysis primarily examines the alterations in the city’s two-dimensional layout and the distribution of mass and void. Tracking the changes in the street network of the studied area is the main goal of this research, along with recognizing the spatial changes in the built environment. The article identified changes in both the open spaces and the street layout.

“…Consequently, the need for a new development path is becoming urgent [2][3][4]. Urban landscapes face unique issues such as discontinuity, diminishing local characteristics, space limitations, and a lack of modern facilities [5,6]. Urban renewal enhances the value, attractiveness, and landscape environment of city areas targeted for replanning and redevelopment [7,8].…”

Landscape occupation and green space reduction have decreased livability and hindered the sustainable development of cities. The urban landscape affects the quality of life and physical and mental state of the public, and urban underground space utilization is important for improving the urban landscape. Therefore, underground space utilization must be explored from a public perspective. Referring to typical underground municipal, transportation, and public space projects, an online questionnaire survey of 377 Nanjing residents was performed to construct a structural equation model investigating their perceptions and preferences regarding underground space usage to improve the landscape, focusing on the links between their preferences and opinions. Underground works that provide diverse open spaces were considered to have the most positive impact on the landscape (82.8%). The aesthetic value of the surface landscape (83.5%) and the vitality of historical sites (82.1%) were the most significantly affected, whereas stock underground space had no significant effect on landscape protection. In terms of age, profession, and place of work, the respondents demonstrated heterogeneous preferences. These findings indicate that targeted publicity and public participation are important to strengthen the cooperative utilization of space and realize the potential of the underground space, helping address actual requirements and develop sustainable cities.

The “Eight Scenic Views Paintings” represent crucial visual materials for investigating the history of cultural landscapes. However, traditional methods of interpreting materials struggle to discern the inherent connections between different landscape elements. This study proposes an approach for deconstructing historical images, taking the example of the Forty Scenic Views in the Late Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, China. To explore the co-occurrence structure, hierarchical clustering, and correlation features among various elements, various digital humanities quantification methods were applied, including spatial analysis of ArcGIS, co-occurrence and clustering of KH Coder, and correlation analysis of SPSS. This study reveals the characteristics of the landscape construction of Nanjing in the Late Ming: natural landscape as the foundation, artificial landscape as the core, and advocating tradition as the fashion. It also uncovers the landscape order: mountains, waters, and scenic views interweaved and coexisted, as well as nature and culture intertwined and clustered. In addition, multiple information graphs of the subordinate and co-occurrence relationships of 20 landscape elements were constructed, 5 landscape paradigms were extracted, and 36 pairs of related relationships were discovered, deepening the historical understanding of the urban landscape construction of Nanjing in the Late Ming. This paper puts forward the idea of analyzing historical images by digital method, which provides some essential and detailed historical basis for explaining the value of cultural landscape heritage and shaping contemporary urban landscape.
