WATCH: Kevin Klinkenberg on Form-Based Codes in Your Community

Seeking to improve the design quality of your community, or looking for ways to encourage mixed-use development? This video is part one of a series that explores the basics of form-based codes and some common pitfalls. Watch Kevin Klinkenberg discuss and compare commonly used techniques, and progressive ideas such as Form-Based Codes (FBCs). Form-Based Codes: Prescriptive Vs. Proscriptive

Klinkenberg served on a panel of experts at the Mid-American Regional Council on FBCs and context-sensitive street design, as both are key elements for walkable neighborhoods. Stay tuned for the end of the series for the full downloadable powerpoint presentation.
