 abstract={The aim of this study was to assess the applicability of digital landscape analysis techniques to evaluate the impact of new high-rise buildings on a historical city structure based on a UNESCO-listed medieval layout. The research focused on the city of Toruń, Poland, and its UNESCO-listed historical centre. A new high-rise building has been planned opposite the Old Town, on the other side of the River Vistula beyond the Kępa Bazarowa forest. This paper presents multi-faceted simulations and the impact of the building on the cityscape of Toruń. The study used LiDAR scanning data and methods dedicated to cityscape analysis, in particular Visual Impact Size (VIS). As a result, a map of the building’s visual impact on the city was produced, on the basis of which viewpoints were identified, which were subjected to further simulations. They considered such aspects as the variants of the height and form of the building, as well as its sun exposure and the facade finishing material. This research is part of a study commissioned by the project owner for the planned building. The study was presented to the City Council and the Voivodeship Monument Conservation Council. All analyses and simulations discussed in this paper are original and were developed in original C++ software. However, similar simulations can also be carried out with the use of other GIS tools.},
