Urban architecture and city planning are closely interlinked. Urban architecture refers to the design and construction of buildings within a city, while city planning is concerned with the organization and development of the city as a whole. Effective city planning requires an understanding of the physical, social, and economic dimensions of a city, and urban architecture plays a crucial role in shaping these dimensions. The design of buildings can influence the flow of people and traffic, the accessibility of services and amenities, and the overall aesthetic of the city. Similarly, city planning can inform architects and developers about the needs and desires of the community, providing guidance on areas such as land use, zoning, and public space. Together, urban architecture and city planning shape the built environment of a city and impact the quality of life of its inhabitants.
