Form-Based Codes

Coding is the simplest tool for effecting change within a neighborhood, municipality, or region. Since the turn of the new century, Farr Associates has been developing regional, city-wide, and neighborhood-scale form-based codes that focus on the development of sustainable communities. Form-based zoning uniquely tunes each code to the community’s existing character and desirable development types. This approach balances diagrams and images with the text, resulting in regulations that are easily understood by developers and the community alike.
