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.
