Civic spaces should embody the shared values and rituals that connect people to their cultural and spiritual traditions. These spaces need not be exclusively religious but should draw on the depth and richness of non-secular traditions to create environments that promote contemplation, solidarity, and communal belonging. These spaces can offer counter-narratives to the secularization and commodification of modern life. Subsequently the civic centre is not limited to practical or administrative purposes but can become the focal point of Res Publica.

The architecture of this space draws upon traditional forms so that individuals are connected to a shared cultural identity. In doing so the civic centre serves as a cultural repository of communal memory and values. The civic centre should be rich with cultural and spiritual meaning. However, focusing solely on non secular traditions may not resonate with an increasingly pluralistic society. Henceforth it is important to ensure that whilst these spaces provide spiritual meaning that they remain open to the inhabitation and use of diverse traditions, so that the common good remains inclusive.
