Submitted by logannash on Tue, 07/14/2009 - 11:09am
Description:
As the state of the economy worsens, the demand for smart planning is more urgent than ever. New Urbanists need coordinated ready-made tools to adapt quickly to changing economic, regulatory and environmental conditions. The framework of the rural-to-urban transect has allowed practitioners to coordinate efficiently a new generation of zoning and design codes for a decade now. This session will present the latest transect-based, form-based Modules, available as freeware to all.

- Sandy Sorlien, Director of Technical Research, Center for Applied Transect Studies
- Doug Farr, President and Founding Principal, Farr Associates Architecture & Urban Design
- Jennifer Hurley, President & CEO, Hurley-Franks & Associates
