Comparing+and+Contrasting

media type="file" key="paragraph.wma"We can say that architecture and urban planning are two areas of work with many similarities. We may say that urban planners design spaces, as well as architects. Both of them create living spaces for their clients, being aware of their needs and specifications. But, meanwhile architecture develops small spaces, such as houses, buildings and interior spaces, urban planning involves the design of groups of buildings, spaces and landscapes. It develops itself in a bigger scale, but with similar functions. When the architect designs a space, he does it for a single client or a small group of people while urban planners design spaces for a big group of people or a community. In our community, urban planning hasn’t developed as it should have. Caracas city is not a planned city that functions in favor of the citizens. Architecture is on the same page as well. Even though architecture developed really fast on the 60’s it stopped developing, and nowadays Caracas is not a city of architectural interest. Hopefully, architecture will blossom in the future and our city will be enjoyable for all the citizens.
