URComparing how cities are seen, not just how they are planned using isovist movement patterns across three fundamentally different urban logics:
1. San Francisco represents the planned grid shaped by topography, where long sightlines and predictability guide movement.
2. Paris reflects axial and monumental planning, where visibility is deliberately orchestrated through boulevards and vistas.
3.Old Delhi reveals an organic, pre modern fabric, where short visual depth, enclosure, and cultural routines drive intense pedestrian movement.
By reading cities through isovists, we begin to understand how visibility, enclosure, and orientation influence everyday movement beyond maps and masterplans.
Urban form is not only built space, it is also visual experience. Visibility shapes behavior. Movement follows what we can see.
