civic unity

Shared public spirit

Civic unity is a sense of shared identity and purpose among members of a community or nation, transcending differences in background, politics, or belief.

The term often appears in calls for cooperation during crises or divisions: The mayor appealed for civic unity after the protests.

Unlike patriotism, civic unity emphasizes collaboration among citizens rather than devotion to symbols or institutions.
