This work captures a serene moment in Edinburgh, where the first light of dawn graces the quiet streets of the city’s Comley Bank area. It highlights how planners can draw inspiration from the natural world, particularly the interplay between light and architectural form. The street, with its tenement buildings lining both sides, mirrors the majestic sides of a canyon, creating a striking juxtaposition between urban design and natural landscapes.

The image emphasises the ways in which urban environments can echo the grandeur of nature. The street channels the sunlight much like a canyon would, illuminating the buildings and casting intricate shadows that add depth and texture to the scene. This comparison underscores the importance of considering natural elements and phenomena when designing cityscapes.
Urban planners can benefit from observing how light interacts with natural formations, using these insights to create urban areas that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. By integrating aspects of nature, such as light patterns and structural forms, they can enhance the liveability and beauty of a city. This work serves as a reminder that the essence of nature can be reflected in the heart of a bustling urban environment, fostering harmony between the built and natural world.
