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 don't have in common, we can by start saying that architecture works with a smaller scale than urban planning because it works with a single building and the context around it. The second one works with bigger scale keeping in mind groups of buildings and the environment around the area. The similarities among them are that both 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.

Applying these concepts about architecture and urban planning to our city, Caracas, I think that the town is pretty lousy because it was not planned. 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.
