LOUISVILLE, Ky. – As communities across the country work to revive downtowns, attract visitors and restore confidence in shared public spaces, Block by Block announced the launch of Civicity, a new human-centered public safety company designed to enhance safety and security in public areas throughout the country.
Civicity is built specifically for public spaces such as downtowns, entertainment and improvement districts, commercial and retail environments, college and off campus areas and transit systems where perceptions of safety directly influence foot traffic, economic activity and quality of life. The company blends highly trained personnel, advanced technology and real-time data to create public spaces that feel well cared for and more welcoming.
“Communities don’t just need security. They need people to feel comfortable being out in public spaces again,” said Blair McBride, president of Block by Block. “Civicity was designed to address the everyday situations that shape how safe a place feels. When people feel at ease downtown, they stay longer, engage more and help bring public spaces back to life.”…
