Summary

A model for analyzing and preserving the silhouette of historical cities, particularly UNESCO World Heritage Sites, has been developed. This approach integrates landscape-visual analysis to evaluate urban views and panoramas, providing a system of criteria that supports sustainable development goals. The study focuses on Saint Petersburg's historic center, where urban transformation risks altering its iconic visual identity. By examining existing tools for view protection and local experiences, the research proposes legislative improvements and practical recommendations to safeguard the city's silhouette while accommodating modern urban development.
