The+purpose+of+Architecture+and+Urban+Planning

 Architecture and urban planning's purposes have many differences and similarities between them. Talking about the aspects that they have in common, we can say that both of them try to create a place where people can establish and the principal goal for them is to improve the life quality of people, to bring safety and comfortable places for people to live in. Talking about the differences between them, we can say that architecture works with a smaller scale than urban planning because it works with a single building and the context around it, while urban planning works with a bigger scale keeping in mind groups of buildings and the environment around the area.  Applying these concepts about architecture and urban planning to our city, Caracas, I think that Caracas, in terms of architecture and urban planning is pretty lousy because it's not a planned city, there are many places where the architecture is not right for the context where the building is placed, and additional to this the urban planning is not present, the streets are too tight and the modification to the environment is not the best for the planet and for the people.
