Comparison and Contrast


Architecture is older than urban planning; however their objectives and principles have always been the same: **to build the city from its buildings and spaces that surround them.**

The two professions complement each other and therefore cannot work separately. The structures designed by architects (whatever their use) must respond to the structure and layout of the urban design. Similarly, the urban design should respond to the dynamics of the city generated by the architecture. In this way you get a balance in the urban web of the city.

The relationship between architecture and urban planning is clearly seen in the development of urban and regional plans of the cities. Both should work together to establish and maintain order in the structural-functional design-space of the cities.

To summarize, urban design and architecture work for the city quality and comfort of its inhabitants. Both must work continuously following the dynamics of the cities and based on that design.

In the case of Caracas, we cannot see that relationship over the entire city. In the city does not exist or has not been approved many plans of local and regional development to determine the organization of the city. In the city we see buildings that do not correspond with the context or the characteristics of the city, as well as poor quality spaces that become unsafe and cannot be used. media type="file" key="kelly´s paragraph one.mp3"
