Architecture+Vs.+Urban+Planning

The role of an Architect and an Urban Planner  Since many years ago most people tend to confuse or group into one what architects and urban planners do. When we analyze their activities we can see that both are similar but they have some differences. The architecture is the art of design likely and functional buildings. It purpose is more than just create a shelter, they have the responsibility of create public or private spaces that satisfy people needs and at the same time makes people feel safety, comfortable and happy. The architects make personalized designs to every client and emphasize their work on a specific building.

Otherwise the urban planning is the art of creating places looking for the best way to put in order the city. Urban planners work with the landscape, public spaces and buildings (the city context). They try to make those elements work together to respond to some necessities that people should have and also seems to change some cities shape to make it work better. In despite of previous information the architecture and urban planning share some responsibilities. Both have the duty of create places attending to the citizen needs but just in different scales. In terms of urban planning in Caracas, I think it needs to be study considered. It is well known that Caracas is the city with the most population in all Venezuela and this is the reason on why here we can find many roads while we are driving but they are much disorganized and contribute to make people get lost or find the daily queues. About its architecture, I considered that is one of the most beautiful of our country. If we look at any building we can easily see reflected our history and ingenious ideas .
