=COMPARING AND COSNTRASTING ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN PLANNING=

==Architecture and urban design are careers that share common characteristics and have differences, as well. Both are responsible for building spaces, landscapes, which are comfortable for people and respond to any of their needs. Their aim is to make places in an artistic way. However, these two disciplines show big differences in relation to their proposal in the construction of buildings. For example, the urban planning is responsible for shaping the places where we live but more at the macro level, and architecture create__s__ in another scale, more private and intimate spaces.==

So we can say that architecture and urban design are different careers, but somehow complement each other.
== In Caracas, there are a lot of successful examples of the symbiosis between architecture and urbanism. One of them is the UCV campus. ==

== The university complex, designed by architect Carlos Raul Villanueva, consists of buildings for scientific, humanistic, artistic and technical schools, a perfect complement with the presence of automobile__s__, pedestrian walkways connecting to different groups of buildings, always throughout the gardens, showing at the same time, the best of both worlds: urbanism and architecture. ==
