Concurrency is the programming concept where multiple threads are spawned by same process under same process space. The threads may or may not contest for the same resource. If they do contest for same resource then synchronization may be needs to avoid situations like deadlocks.

Parallelism is the concept of dividing a particular computation into independent parallel processes which do not share the same process space.

Oh forgot to mention: Parallelism requires multiple CPUs or a processor with multiple core.
