Miami, FL - November 8-10, 2007
Enhancing the livability and lovability of our communities begins here. With equal parts theory and mechanics, the SmartCode Workshop is your gateway to the future of American land planning, delivering all the tools you need for successful implementation at the local level.
Andrés Duany will lead the discussion of the rural-to-urban Transect and the form-based principles that guide the SmartCode, the most comprehensive land development template available to create environmentally sustainable, economically competitive and truly livable places.
Through a variety of interactive sessions, participants will be guided page by page through the SmartCode. Topics include the scales of transect planning, ranges of elements in the T-1 to T-6 zones, public works standards that integrate well-designed places, and the power of Visual Preference Surveys and GIS modeling to influence political persuasion. In-depth panel sessions will address economic incentives, administration techniques and legal precedent. Finally, evaluation of actual SmartCode projects will follow the adoption process and demonstrate successful outcomes.
Don't miss this opportunity to join fellow planners, architects, developers, elected officials and citizen activists, and learn how to implement practical solutions for quality livability. Register now!
