A plaza is a large, open public space typically situated in the heart of a city and surrounded by buildings. It serves as a communal gathering spot for social, cultural, and commercial activities. Plazas have roots in ancient forums and are designed to encourage pedestrian use, often featuring fountains, monuments, landscaping, and seating. In urban planning, plazas contribute to civic identity and livability.
