Architecture and Urban Planning are very complementary careers. They use similar values, however they are applied on different areas. While the first one is related to making buildings, the other one is more focused on the functioning of the city.

Architecture looks more in the buildings itself, in their forms and shapes, the comfort of the people who are going to live there, the basic needs that people have (like lightning, ventilation, flow, and so on) and looking at dwellings as more than just shelters. Meanwhile, Urban Planners are compromised with a bigger scale, in the relations between groups of buildings, houses or even cities. Still they also have to satisfy the principal needs of people, and not only focus on creating spaces for transit but also to be, and pay attention to the surroundings.

Besides that, Architects and Urban Planners should always work together. In that way it can be accomplished a more successful and harmonic city.

I think initially there was good architecture and urbanism in Caracas. But nowadays, different factors of the country's situation directly affect the planning of buildings. Poverty has affected the architecture of many areas. urbanism also has been affected because they often improvised, without considering the consequences that certain actions may bring. However, I think there are very good architects and Urban planners in Venezuela, because there are highly recognized works. I believe everything depends on the organization and professional team work needed to create a harmonious city.
