Your pictures on the theme of 'urban landscape'

We asked our readers to send in their best pictures on the theme of "urban landscape". Here is a selection of the photographs we received from around the world.

Ian Ford: “The urban world needs the hustle and bustle of public transport.”
Pauline Bentliff: “This was taken from Werneth Low, Hyde[, Cheshire]. I was already mesmerised by the amazing sunset but when I saw the Sun dipping behind those tall towers, it was truly remarkable. It looked like a scene from Blade Runner.”
Claire Brayne: “Space to chat.”
Tony Dowell: “An evening's end, Auckland, New Zealand.”
Anton Glaeser: “Seeing the Italian cook on the phone, waiting for the delivery of new groceries via the canal, I realised that urban landscapes only come to life when looked at through the lens of landscapes of the soul.”
Keris Thomas: “Cardiff city skyline at sunset.”
Keris Thomas: “Cardiff city skyline at sunset.”
Peter Przytula: “I saw this car on Rue Mouffetard. What struck me was the combination of the name of the car and the "content" of the same car. Also, it offers a great metaphor on the crowded living landscape in Paris.”
Peter Myers: “Multi-coloured houses on a crowded hillside in Lima, Peru.”
Hesham Ellabban: “A megalopolis never seizes to amaze with its infinite layers and contradictions and always being on the edge of implosion. A city that you love to hate and hate to love - Cairo.”
Saraa Bahari: “Autumn has a different colour and smell -the colour and smell of walking and letting go. Autumn and its beautiful colours must be touched.”
Charlotte Carr: “New York City's iconic Flatiron Building.”
Scott Antcliffe: “Capturing light trails under the Tyne Bridge, Newcastle.”
Rachael Blakey: “I'd always wanted to capture lightning in this location, so as soon as a thunderstorm happened, I travelled in my car with my camera to the location, New Brunswick, Canada.”
Duncan Holmes: “I've driven over this flyover many times but only once ventured on to the traffic-island wasteland below.”
Duncan Holmes: “The newly restored Fitzrovia mural, on Tottenham Court Road, [central London,] rescued in 2020, after years of neglect.”
Dan Davidson: “Trains from Victoria station pass by Battersea Power Station[, south London,] before lockdown.”
Michael Cummins: “Early daffodils blooming in Spital Cemetery, Chesterfield, during lockdown.”
