Smart Growth: The Problem with Codes, and the House on the Corner |
|
Jeff Speck, AICP, LEED-AP, former Director of Design at the National Endowment for the Arts, Director of Town Planning for Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co., and co-author of Suburban Nation and the forthcoming Smart Growth Manual, discusses the often anti-urban nature of today’s land-use codes, and proposes alternative rules for the creation of more livable communities. He also shares the story of his attempt to build a new infill house in Washington, DC and how he overcame the legal barriers to ultimately build a 2000-square-foot solar-powered home on a 500-square-foot lot at the tip of the L’Enfant plan. FREE. Registration not required. Smart Growth is presented in association with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Smart Growth Network. Date:
