Is it better to build a municipal building or town hall? The growing trend among cities and towns across the country is to abandon the traditional office-style municipal building, often an unfriendly, even intimidating building mass buried in a complex of nondescript structures. Instead, cities are leaning toward town halls that become focal points for their community due to the growing need for facilities that not only accommodate the everyday town business transactions, but also are an exciting place for the public to assemble and experience. by Edmund P.
