Form-Based Codes 101: Introduction

In this course we will define form-based codes, explain why they were invented, and distinguish them from conventional "use-based" zoning ordinances—all with an emphasis on place-making and walkability (i.e., physical form and character). You will understand how form-based codes shape community growth and character and whether form-based codes are an appropriate tool for regulating development in your community.

How did we get
Through government regulation. She even admits it - we got exactly what the code required... We got exactly what the planners demanded through regulation - not necessarily what the developers, builders or buyers wanted. Let's go back to the days of little to no regulation. The market will determine what society really wants. The people will vote with their feet and with their money. Let's avoid the top down approach and get something great.
