It presents the methodology applied while developing the 2020–2021 Composition Study of Szczecin. The study was commissioned by the City, and its results were included in the Study of Conditions and Directions for Spatial Development of Szczecin adopted in 2022. The aim was to define a framework for the development of high-rise buildings, while at the same time protect historical vistas preserved in the public consciousness. The paper discusses various methods of digital cityscape analysis based on the use of 3D city models, e.g.,Visual Protection Surface (VPS) and Visual Impact Size (VIS), which allow to indicate the maximum height of new buildings that would enable to protect strategic views and to analyse the impact of new buildings on the city space. The process resulted in the formulation of precise guidelines and the drafting of a long-term and sustainable spatial policy for the cityscape of Szczecin. The research has a universal formula and may also be applied to other cities.}, type={Article}, title={Protection and Development of the Cityscape and High-Rise Buildings Based on the 2020–2021 Composition Study of Szczecin}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/126486/PDF/2022-TEKA-02.pdf}, doi={10.24425/tkuia.2022.144841}, keywords={high-rise buildings, Szczecin’s cityscape protection, VPS method, VIS method, 3d city models, cultural heritage}, }
