Comparing+and+contrasting

Urban design is the process of shaping the physical space for life in cities, towns and villages. It is the art of making places. That implies the design of buildings according with the context and design landscapes, and establishing the processes that make successful developments possible. In comparison, an architect working on a more individual than an urban planner, is dedicated to designing buildings and spaces.While an archiect designs, an urban planner is responsible for this site in the city. He or she is responsible for ordering and harmonizing urban systems. Although both disciplines are responsible for creating spaces, places one of the notable difference is that the archiect works on a smaller scale. Also, the challenge of a planner is to create a place that will be used and enjoyed by a wide range of different people for different purposes, unlike an architect of the project which is aimed at the interests and needs of a single user when designing a building. Architects have to worry about the place, not only with the building design to meet customer demands. Urban planners should be concerned not only with land use, but the pysical form of development. Commonly, people tend to relate architecture as a shelter built for people to survive and be protected from the environment, while the urban planning is more general and wider. Caracas, in terms of architecture and urban planning, is very diverse. It has variety in architecture as it keeps valuable works such as the Silencio's tower, the Teresa Carreño theater, and so forth. It also has an urban system that facilitates both the stay and the displacement of residents, as in the case for the existence of an underground (subway), urban transport routes, and squares.
