The purpose of this paper is to develop a simulation system to evaluate urban landscape composition. We formulate the problem about configuration of landscape elements using Genetic Algorithm with a function that measures a fitness of the configuration. The function is composed of four indexes. These indexes and parameters are derived from the results of analysis of 19th century European landscape paintings. And a prototype simulation system is proposed to compare a landscape composition obtained from actual urban area with a sub-optimal solution of the configuration. The usefulness of the system developed here is shown through the application to three types of actual landscapes.
