Under this background, we notice that most of the world cities not only have a higher economic level, but also have a good soft ambient just like waterscape to provide high-quality landscape and life for the citizens just like New York and Chicago. This article com- pares Wuhan to some typical world cities and some influential Chinese urban areas in term of the waterscape to emphasize the uniqueness and advantage. First we chose some case cities, then an evaluation system was built to analyze the water data extracted from the remote sensing image including four important quantitative indicators which were raised to describe the characteristic of the waterscape. Detailed indexes include water area, patches number, largest patch index, Split, entropy and total water line and edge density. The results indicate that Wuhan is a city with fairly large water area; its patch size is quite suitable for creating high quality living space and water- front. The mixing degree of the land and w
