 * Differences between Architecture and Urban Planning **

‍The professional in charge of architecture, designs buildings or structures as such, taking into account the needs of their client. Instead, the developer is responsible for making plans for a city or space, improve spaces, etc., but thinking of a group of people.

‍Although they are different careers, they complement each other and should go hand in hand.

‍Most people create environments to: protect people, their activities and possessions of all kinds of enemies, to establish a place, to humanize and create safe area of the dangerous world.

‍The purposes of architecture are many. Its function is not only to protect people from the climate and damaging agents. Other functions are: provide information and settings of certain activities; give power, status and private life; cosmological beliefs and support; communicate information; differentiate between public and private, religion, sex, classes, and many others. T he urban planner works on a larger scale, she must, therefore, provide all these services but on a larger level, since the planner is based on a broader mass of people than architect.


 * How does Caracas stand in terms of both, architecture and urban planning? **

I believe that in the city of Caracas both architecture and urbanism are very neglected. Many structures and roads are in poor conditions or damaged, others are very dangerous, and so on. Both, planners and architects should put more attention to all these aspects so we improve as a country.
