This conference is a practical forum to explore a promising new alternative to Euclidean Zoning. Topics include: • The Three Steps of Great PlaceMaking • PlaceMaking as an Economic Development Tool • What Makes Places Great • What are Form-Based Codes and How They Differ from Existing Codes • Why People Oppose Density, and How to Overcome Those Objections • The Lessons Learned from Other Communities Who Have Enacted Code Reform • How to Build Ongoing Community Support for the Reform of Development Practices • How to Administer a Form-Based Code • How to Avoid the Common Mistakes in Facilitating Transit Oriented Development • Understanding the Proper Roles for Citizens, Politicians, Planners, Developers, etc. Learn how to create neighborhoods and districts for people to live, work and play – with convenient transit access to the region as a whole. A form-based code is an important option embraced by a growing number of communities – and a timely one for us to explore.
