Abstract Details

2007, MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Community Planning.
Zoning codes of a particular city play vital role in designing “place making” elements and the resultant built environment. Due to lack of adequate attention towards design standards in our present zoning techniques, American cities are facing some serious problems related to sprawl. Under the New Urbanism principles, Form Based Zoning (FBZ) was created to overcome the shortcomings of conventional zoning codes and non-Euclidean zoning. A critical evaluation of conventional zoning methods and FBZ has been done through literature and case study review. The study concludes that additions and changes are required in existing zoning policies and building regulations to include urban design elements and create contextual built form. In addition, improvements to the FBZ are required to integrate simplified regulations, physical design and land use, and technology to shape the public realm in a comprehensive manner into a meaningful built environment.
