Cultural Centers (Civ5)

Cultural Centers is a social policy in Civilization V. It was added in Brave New World. It is part of the Aesthetics tree.
The introduction of the concept of Cultural Centers is an important basis for future cultural growth in a society. It involves a system of state benefits which act on local level, such as facilitated bureaucratic procedures for all cultural activity, state grants for artists and their production, and even incentives for constructing culture-related buildings. After implementing this Policy, each city in the empire turns into a shining beacon for all culture-related activity.

* Construct Monuments, Amphitheaters, Opera Houses, Museums and Broadcast Towers 50% faster.
== Strategy ==
This is the natural starter Policy if you intend to develop seriously, and even pursue cultural victory. Even though cultural buildings aren't the main driver towards this type of victory anymore, they still have a very important role: without the presence of cultural buildings, and the Great Work slots they provide, you can't produce Great Works! Of course, the very presence of the buildings themselves isn't going to help you produce Great Works, so don't expect a sudden flood of art, music and poems. This will come later with other Policies in the tree, which are unlocked by this basic Policy.
