Current World Environment

Urban landscape is a concrete and objective phenomenon embodied by the quality of the physical factors of the environment. It is a system formed by the relation between the man and the urban environment. The topic of the landscape of cities is getting increasingly important due to the new emerging attitudes, particularly the interactional approaches and paying attention to the mutual effects of the environment on humans and humans on environment. Accordingly, it is important to realize and identify the effective factors on the formation of urban landscapes. In this regard, this article tries to study the role of the climate as an important and effective factor on the urban landscape. Our approach in this study is based on the phenomenological recognition. With regard to the nature of our subject, the methodology of the research is descriptive relying on the library method to collect and extract the needed data and information from the available resources. Based on the available literature on different climates in different regions of Iran, we have studied the effect of the four-fold climates of Iran on the urban fabric and their role in the landscape of the cities.
