A civic space is one that not only serves a public purpose – it also upholds and uplifts a community’s values, connects its citizens and creates a strong sense of belonging.
Whether it’s a library or a law court, a town hall or a theatre, the best public and civic buildings balance beauty and budget to deliver enduring long-term value.
The decisions made when planning and delivering public spaces can make or break a local council, city or community group’s bottom line – both in up-front capital costs and ongoing operational spending. Our clients turn to RLB to draw on our deep experience working on some of the world’s most iconic and innovative public buildings, and our database of world’s best practice and benchmarks.
