The Visual Integrity Approach in Historical City Development (A Comparative Study between Istanbul, Vienna, Kyoto and Yogyakarta)

Maintaining visual integrity is crucial for preserving the authenticity and sustainability of historical cityscapes amid urban development pressures. A comparative study of Istanbul, Vienna, Kyoto, and Yogyakarta highlights that visual integrity—encompassing sequence, orientation, continuity, and complexity—can be strengthened through natural and cultural landscape strategies. The research analyzed these aspects to derive best practices for Yogyakarta's city planning, emphasizing the need to balance urban growth with the preservation of historical values. This approach offers a framework for other historic cities facing similar challenges.
