Implication

Randomized trial examines the impact of visual features on city image in Wuhan, suggesting new insights for urban design.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore how streetscape visual features relate to visitor perceptions of city image and identity.
  • Integrated panoramic streetscape imagery with online visitor reviews in Wuhan, China.
  • Employed semantic segmentation to quantify nine streetscape visual indicators.
  • Conducted statistical and spatial analyses to relate visual indicators to visitor perceptions.
  • Leisure and aesthetic perceptions were the most prominent dimensions among visitors.
  • Positive associations were found between color harmony, water visibility, visible greenery, and cultural/aesthetic/leisure perceptions.
  • Dense building interfaces were negatively associated with aesthetic/leisure perceptions but positively with scientific–educational perception.
