 // Architecture and Urban Planning are fields that are extremely related with each other, because both of them focuse on creating functional and beautiful solutions to human inhabiting. The main difference would be the scale in which they work on, being the urban planner a person that has to coordinate the distribution of spaces and its use in whole new cities’ development, while the architect has to deal with creating more punctual designs for each of these spaces that have been given a specific use by the urban planners. // // For example, if we were to create a new village, the urban planners would be in charge of distributing the different uses of the land such as: recreational, educational, commercial, industrial and residential, according to the needs of people and the cultural and geographical context. Architects would then, be in charge of designing the different structures that will be developed in the city, such as houses, schools, hospitals, between many others.

Public Transportation remains insufficient, traffic has become a major issue and disorganization, insecurity and abandonment have become the city`s most remarkable characteristics.
