 * Architecture is the process and product of planning, designing and constructing buildings. While, urban planning is the collaborative and multi-disciplinary process of shaping the physical setting for life in cities, towns and villages. So, the urban planner works with the architecture and the city in a much bigger scale in comparison with an architect. **
 * The architect works in designs and construct the building, but the urban planner works in the shape and form of the city. The architects designs spaces for a private use, like a house, or a bathroom or even an office for a small group of persons; while an urban planner designs public spaces for a lot of people. **
 * The architect has to make the spaces comfortable and pleasant to life just as an urban planner has to create accessible public spaces that improve the life of the people who use them. An urban planner has to think of the connections of the city, like the avenues, the streets, the electrical and telephone line, etc. However, and architect has to think of the connections between the spaces of a house and the illumination. **
 * The urban planning is in charge of making successful development possible for the community, so the urban planner has to consider the social, political and economic issues that are involved in the culture of the people. Also, an architect has to consider the psychological characteristics of their clients and has to create a building that can be adapted to the constant changes according with the environment whereit is located. **
 * There are many common grounds and connections between architecture and urban planning, but the principal one would be the importance that these two disciplines have for people´s life and how they can contribute with each other to develop a great place to live and make people happier. **
 * Caracas is the capital and largest city of Venezuela. The population of the city is elevated, so that is a problem to the city. There are to many persons in a little space and the public services are lowest. The city was not planned by a professional, so that has generated a lot of problems. Architectects and urban planners must work together to improve the life of the Caraca¨s habitants .**
