“…In the urban dimension analysis, accessibility emerges as a critical factor in the regeneration of the waterfront. Enhancing accessibility ensures that the community, including individuals with disabilities, can readily access and enjoy the waterfront, fostering inclusivity and a sense of community (Pedrycz, 2021). Improved accessibility also has the potential to attract a wider range of visitors, revitalise the area, and create new economic opportunities.…”

Waterfronts are vibrant areas that are heavily utilised by people with activities in pre-industrial cities. Riverfronts and towns have a tight association during this time frame. As a result, industrial plants were shut down and modes of transportation were altered. In the face of rapid urbanisation and industrialisation in Sungai Petani, Kedah, there is a growing concern that the economic and environmental changes may negatively affect the social values among the community. Overall, this research aims to identify several key areas for the historical waterfront regeneration of Sungai Petani. A social impact assessment was conducted to analyse the social values of the existing waterfront to expand the aspects of social and culture to the planning of urban waterfront regeneration in Sungai Petani. Results of the questionnaire revealed that respondents showed their satisfaction and opinion upon the waterfront element. There are 61.6% proportion of the respondents who consider that the community cohesiveness is the greatest strength of the Sungai Petani’s waterfront. This is followed by cultural vibrancy (47.2%), beautiful streets (40.8%), streets in harmony with nature (28.8%), and beautiful river (12%). At the end of the study, solutions were suggested for the regeneration of historical waterfront and correcting mistakes in existing spaces in light of these determinations.

“…In addition, the post-war urban reconstruction and Townscape Movement in Britain provided important opportunities for the development and practice of visual planning theory. Therefore, "Visual Planning" was proposed as a design method in urban design to address the influence of visual perception on urban morphology in the process of urban development [49]. Several important studies during this period are reviewed below.…”

Dynamic visual experience is the most common way for people to perceive a cityscape. Previous research reviews on cityscapes have mainly focused on spatial planning, social culture, economic development, ecological protection, etc., with little consideration of the impact of dynamic visual perception on the formation of cityscapes, which hinders the provision of references for the practice of people-centered urban design concepts. Therefore, this article selected 94 works in the relevant literature from 1940 to 2022 to conduct a critical review. First, we conceptualized the cityscape in light of earlier substantial discussions on the intimate relationship between dynamic visual perception and the cityscape. Then, we divided the relevant research from the past century and a half into three periods and summarized theoretical and practical research on the cityscape in these different periods from the perspective of dynamic visual perception. Among these, the refined research on interdisciplinary methods, including Visual Quality Assessment based on dynamic visual perception and visibility analysis algorithms based on digital technology, is emphatically described and discussed. Based on a comprehensive review, this article concludes that the main application scenarios for the existing research on dynamic visual perception are cityscape assessment and decision making. Finally, three avenues for future research are proposed.

“…Against this context, a large number of historical cities in China have been at risk of being destroyed in the process of urbanization [18][19][20]. Such an effect is not only limited to the destruction of urban heritage, but also the disorder of traditional urban spatial structures and the cultural landscape [21][22][23]. Furthermore, it may well lead to the division of the physical space from the human spirit of the historical city.…”

In the past 40 years, China has undergone a rapid urbanization process which has led to a significant contradiction between the desire to develop modern urban spaces and the need to protect historic urban sites. Urban construction has brought not only the destruction of the physical space of the historic urban sites, but also the fragmentation of the natural landscape and its structural disconnection to the historic urban landscape. Ancient Chinese planners had their own thoughts regarding urban construction and the specific patterns of the urban landscape. The urban landscape of Chinese historic cities focuses predominantly on the structural relationship to its neighborhood. This paper aims to explore the value and character of the historic landscape of the ancient city, finding the key causes of its decline in the process of urbanization. The World Cultural Heritage city Pingyao is taken as a case study. Firstly, an analysis of its historical spatial structure and urban planning ideas of the ancient city of Pingyao using ancient maps and historical documents is presented. Then, a quantitative analysis of the urban space expansion in Pingyao city from 1989 to 2016 is conducted and its land use structure further analyzed. Additionally, four editions of the urban master plan in Pingyao have comprehensively shown that modern urban construction and planning tend to focus more on urban economic functions and social needs. In contrast, ancient urban planning relied on the spatial connection between urban space and its natural environment to construct a higher urban cultural connotation. As a result, the different development mode between modern urbanization and construction of ancient cities could be the key reason for the decline of spatial structure and landscape fragmentation of historical cities in China. With respect to the experience and thoughts of Pingyao’s ancient urban planning and construction, technical ideas and suggestions are put forward as reference in future spatial planning for Pingyao’s urban development and cultural protection. Our findings have been incorporated into the relevant sections of the spatial planning of Pingyao.
