Here are the categories I can think of now...
  • Close-in compositions like the beautiful ones Pixmaniaque has created.
  • Then there are the 'decisive moments" of Henri Cartier-Bresson that show people living in an urban environment.
  • There are cityscapes that treat buildings like urban mountains with rivers of traffic between.
  • Others show people and traffic as patterns among the urban terrain - see "Public Square."   Pieter Breughel painted images from this perspective almost five hundred years ago.
  • And take a look at the Futurists here and here in Italy in the early 1900's
What other types or examples of urban images exist, whether photos or paintings?  There must be others...
