It is observed that this relationship occurs under two orders – practical and theoretical – that influence each other. It’s considered, initially, the contemporary Brazilian reality as a dichotomy: on one hand, urban planning addresses a generic and indirect approach to urban design, and on the other hand, urban design is often expressed in specific urban projects which configure urban interventions devoid of a holistic treatment of the city, traditionally linked to urban planning. Thus, the problem of investigation is: how does the relationship between urban planning and urban design occur, considering the dichotomy found in the Brazilian reality? The hypothesis regards the existence of a dissociation between urban planning and urban design today. The research is conducted on a theoretical level, according to a qualitative method, based on literature review of Brazilian and foreign titles. The theoretical frame treats, initially, the meaning of "planning" and "design", and the urban form as the common object to the analyzed field. Then, urban planning is defined as a conscious process, and urban design is defined as a product, a process or a conscious unconscious process - taking this definition as a constant element, or presupposition, of the analysis. The multiplicity of understandings and applications concerning the terms “urban planning”, “urban design” and “urbanism” is observed. The way how urban planning, urban design and their relationship are conceptualized unevenly in contemporary approaches is identified, concluding on the division of approaches that are more reflexive and "organizers" of the theory and practice involved in the fields analyzed, and approaches that are more purposeful about how these fields should behave in a different situation. It is also observed that urban planning, urban design and the relationship between them are variable over time, and are conformed according to their perspectives with instruments, focus and legitimacy of their own, grouped into two paradigms. The conclusion is that, under the first paradigm, urban planning and urban design keep a mutual dependence on the conformation of a single field of practice and thought with scientific pretensions, involving the conscious process of urban design and the planning of the stages of completion of the design envisioned. Subsequently, the paradigm changes, as well as how each field constitutes itself and how they relate, featuring a relationship of independence between each field. The conclusion is, also, that the hypothesis can be corroborated through the comparison of current and previous perspectives that result, in Brazil, in the separation between the institutionalized process of urban planning and the conscious process of urban design, resulting in the trend of architects working on two different fronts. Finally, the conclusion is that the relationship between urban planning and urban design is multiple and mutant, at the same time that defines the development of the practice and thinking about the city.

are conceptualized, contemporaneously, individually and in
their relationship. Reference works are analyzed in the aspects
of the specific concept of each field and the relationship between
them.The conclusions, on contemporary approaches are: (a)
the concept and the relation between the fields is understood
unevenly among the authors evaluate them (b) they promote little
internal debate, (c) they tend to value one field over another,
(d) they differentiate into “organizing” and “critical”.
Key words: Urban planning; Urban design.
