The SmartCode Workshop

Andres Duany leads this three-day, immersive program.
Charleston, SC - November 20-22, 2008

Enhancing the livability and lovability of our communities begins here. With equal parts theory and mechanics, the SmartCode Workshop is your gateway to the future of American land planning, delivering all the tools you need for successful implementation at the local level.

Through a variety of interactive sessions with Andrés Duany, the code’s principal author, and a host of accomplished practitioners, participants are guided page by page through the SmartCode, exploring the theory, scales and elements of transect planning. Public works standards integrating well-designed places are discussed in detail, and a solid half-day is devoted to a hands-on calibration exercise.

Receiving additional focus are the power of onsite education, Visual Preference Surveys, and GIS modeling to influence political persuasion. In-depth panel sessions address economic incentives, administration techniques and legal precedent. Finally, evaluation of actual SmartCode projects follows the adoption process and demonstrates, beyond just theory, the proven best practices behind successful outcomes.
