Information Analysis of View Images of Urban Development

Abstract

Authors consider main kinds of images used in different historical stages of drawing large plots of urban developments. They provide arguments in favour of images of cities and towns’ areas in the form of axonometric projections, with “zenith isometry” preferred. A lot of attention is paid to primary view sources, and their importance is emphasized in terms of information content required to later come over to CAD drawings of urban areas. The suggested approach to view images is illustrated with the example of stepwise drawing of Tambov’s central part.
