// There are many differences between urban planning and architecture, but I think that both are involved in related areas of work. The main purpose of architects is creating buildings and structures to people in order to satisfy their needs, taking care of the context and the environmental conditions. Otherwise, the main purpose of urban planners is providing good methods of life to the citizens, for example: comfortable means of transports, environmental conservation, and aestheti //// c design, among others. So, I conclude that the focus of architects and urban planners is making the best quality of life to citizens. They are involved on the dynamic of the cities, and they research, apply, develop and improve facilities for the people. From my personal point of view the design of Caracas is improved because the architecture is eclectic without a pattern, and the urban morphology is irregular, except in the town center. On the other hand, Caracas doesn’t have a good way system and is a very populated city, so the traffic is one of the several problems of this community and I think that the urban designers have to help to solve it. //=====
