What is the difference between architecture and urbanism?

Architecture is concerned with the design and construction of individual buildings and structures, while urbanism is concerned with the planning and design of entire cities or urban areas, including the arrangement of buildings, infrastructure, transportation systems, and public spaces. In other words, architecture is a subset of urbanism, which encompasses a broader range of considerations beyond just the design of buildings to include the social, economic, and environmental aspects of urban living.
