Skyline

It can be created by a city's overall structure, or by human intervention in a rural setting, or in nature that is formed where the sky meets buildings or the land.

For this reason, news and sports programs, television shows, and movies often display the skyline of a city to set a location.

[5] Some remote locations have notably striking skylines, created either by nature or by sparse human settlement in an environment not conducive to housing significant populations.

Skylines are often used as backgrounds and establishing shots in film, television programs, news websites, and in other forms of media.

Emporis is one such service, which uses height and other data to give point values to buildings and add them together for skylines.
