Plaza vs. Square: What's the Difference?

Edited by Sumera Saeed || By Sawaira Riaz || Updated on October 3, 2023
Plaza is an open public space, often with commercial buildings, while Square is an open area in a city or town where multiple streets meet, typically used for gatherings.

Key Differences

Both Plaza and Square are open public spaces that have been integral in urban design. Plaza, originating from the Spanish word for 'place', often emphasizes a commercial or business-oriented space. This setting may contain shopping centers, restaurants, or entertainment venues. On the other hand, Square has deep roots in town planning across various cultures and tends to be a communal gathering spot.

Plaza and Square both serve as social hubs, but their primary functions may differ. While the primary allure of a Plaza may be its commercial establishments and business areas, a Square is more traditionally a place for community gatherings, events, and sometimes even political demonstrations.

In architecture and urban design, the aesthetics of a Plaza might lean more towards modernity and luxury, reflecting its commercial intent. In contrast, a Square may have historical monuments, statues, or fountains, encapsulating the cultural or historical essence of a city or town.
