Architecture VS Urban Planning

Architecture is the art of creating a space for people to use according to their needs. It responds to the different cultures and diversity that can be found in the human being. Architecture purpose is to adapt our surroundings for them to become a house, a theatre, a hospital or a park according to what we want it to be. On the other hand, Urban Planning comes from the need to organize those spaces built by man. Urban planners see the city as a whole, a system that should work in synchrony with everything that it contains, unlike architects, who create their buildings as units in that city without watching its relation to the system.
