Civic centre is the area in the centre of a town where municipal offices and other public
buildings are situated which includes a large public building or complex for meetings, sports,
and entertainments. A civic centre represents the image of region and its residents. The
building is centre of all societies, of all groups, and of every activity. The opportunity for
grouping buildings in cities is often considered desirable, both in facilitation of public
business and in the promotion of civic art, Civic institutions, such as parks, libraries, city halls
and cultural facilities, are the foundations of a civil society and the cornerstones of
democracy.
When civic institutions are located in places that are easily accessible by pedestrians and
transit, they help to make a city more walk able and reduce dependence on the automobile
Civic institutions can also help to support and build local economies by encouraging small-
scale businesses and local entrepreneurship through vending programs, farmers' markets
festivals and other locally-sponsored activities
