The Smart Code

The Smart Code is a flexible framework used in urban planning and zoning that focuses on creating walkable, sustainable communities. It encourages mixed-use development, allowing residential, commercial, and recreational spaces to coexist, which promotes easier access to amenities. The code emphasizes characteristics like street-friendly designs, public spaces, and environmentally sensitive practices. By prioritizing community needs and reducing reliance on cars, the Smart Code aims to enhance the quality of life, foster social interactions, and protect the environment, ultimately shaping vibrant, resilient neighborhoods that cater to the diverse needs of their residents.
