Comparison+and+contrast+between+architecture+and+urban+planning

 Architecture and urban planning are very alike. They both have a lot to do with organization, design, arts and planning. Sometimes they even find themselves working in the same fields. Nevertheless, architecture has a considerable difference. Architects design the inside and the facade of the buildings. They make sure people feel comfortable with it and that it is useful and it doesn´t interfere with the citizens activities. Instead, urban planners work more outside the buildings, making sure the streets are well connected or organizing a group of buildings and making recreation spaces for people to be able to socialize. Of course, they both look for the citizens comfort on the most economical and efficient way, everything to help with the city development. **//How does Caracas stand in terms of both, architecture and urban planning?//**

 In Caracas, the city where I live, I can see some places with an outstanding architecture, with excellent urban planning, like Chacao and Plaza Venezuela. Yet, sometimes it seems like the city still has a lot to develop. For example, there is still a lot to solve in the matter of the street circulation, and there are too many old buildings that need to be restored or demolished, and there is also the housing problem and the rains that take away all the constructions made in the wrong places of the mountains.
