Comparing+and+contrast+of+Architecture+and+Urban+planning

Architecture and urban planning are two professions that have a lot of similarities, they are related. For example, the function of an architect is to create spaces as well as urban planners and they both have to satisfy people's needs. However, architects have to design small spaces like houses, hotels, among others, and urban planners design the urban environment including transportation networks, to guide and ensure the orderly development of settlements and communities. In other words, they work in a bigger scale. Another difference is that urban planners design for a community and architects design for a small group of people or a single client. I believe urban planning in Caracas is poorly designed; it doesn't satisfy people's needs. As a consequence, we have many transport problems, among others. Another issue is that neither the architecture in Caracas nor its urban planning are developed. Despite the fast architectonic breakthrough on the 60's, architecture in Caracas started to decline, turning it into a city that isn't interesting in a architectural way. media type="file" key="contrast and comparing.wma" width="300" height="45"
