1. Planning and zoning codes are frequently criticized by the New Urbanists. Have you ever changed your city's zoning codes to accommodate urban design needs, e.g. narrow streets, more trees on the roads, sidewalks and street furniture, multimodal streets, reducing setbacks, etc.? Have you ever experienced conflicts among the different city codes, e.g. engineering codes, fire department codes, etc.? Please tell us your experiences about any necessary changes and how to resolve code conflicts.
2. One of the NU principles is how to create 'public' spaces: boulevards, squares, community symbols and centers, etc. However, most New Urbanist projects are still owned and operated by the private sector, e.g. developers, property management companies, etc. In your opinion, what is the role of planners, as public officials, in developing New Urbanist communities?
3. The promotion of New Urbanism might be a means of fulfilling the goals of the Growth Management Act. Do you agree, and if so how? 4. Broadly speaking, what is the role of New Urbanism in contemporary city planning? Does the concept influence your planning practice? If so,how? 5. We would like to have some examples of housing diversity. Please send us examples of innovative housing solutions (pictures welcome!).
