Conventional zoning is founded on principles of separation—not only land uses, but also racial and ethnic groups, rich and poor, large and small. Form-based codes are based on principles of integration—land uses, building forms, modes of transportation, building types. Because of these foundational differences, policymakers are looking to form-based zoning to create communities that are healthier, more equitable, diverse, and sustainable, and where prosperity is shared more widely. Form-Based Codes Institute leaders Marta Goldsmith, Karen Parolek, and Marques King talked about the why and how of using form-based codes to shape policy change.
