The vibe of every city and urban landscape is distinctly unique, from the imposing yet creative architecture, to the pulse of traffic, as well as to the aesthetic and carefully planned greenspaces. Whether it’s hugging a busy, ship-filled bay, or nestled against scenic foothills, the visual thumbprint of these metropolitan areas reflects the local culture, the vitality of its economy, and the general accommodation to the local geography. Pounding the pavement to chase the next opportunity may provide a cool perspective, however the birds-eye view of these cityscapes is the clearly best way to appreciate them, as proven by drone pilots of these nominated videos for the Cities & Urban category. Congratulations to Timelab.pro, this year's winner!
After you watch these nominated videos, explore more of the world’s most photogenic cities views in our curated collections of Hong Kong, Chicago, Dubai, Saint Petersburg, Rome and more, as well as the topical collections of Cityscape, City View, Downtowns, Skyscrapers, and European Cities.
