What is the difference between urban design and urban planning?

Urban Design is the designing of the physical features of a town or a city. It mainly deals with designing features that a city has to provide, primarily for public use. Urban Design aims to create public-friendly and engaging environments. It should be visuallyappealing to people, must accommodate necessary facilities, and must be inviting. The main points to be addressed in urban design are that it should be accessible to all and inclusive of people and nature. Such projects are generally given to individual firms or a team of 2-3 firms.On the other hand, Urban Planning is planning of placing all the features, including buildings, landscapes, neighbourhoods, etc. It requires more zoning of spaces for accessible transit and usability rather than designing. The government mostly does such projects in collaboration with a team of experts and firms and the public, the users.
