The Problem with Codes, and the House on the Corner

Smart Growth

September 11, 2008

12:30pm - 1:30pm


Jeff Speck, AICP, LEED-AP, former Director of Design at the National Endowment for the Arts, Director of Town Planning for Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co., and co-author of Suburban Nation and the forthcoming Smart Growth Manual, discusses the often anti-urban nature of today’s land-use codes, and proposes alternative rules for the creation of more livable communities.  He also shares the story of his attempt to build a new infill house in Washington, DC and how he overcame the legal barriers to ultimately build a 2000-square-foot solar-powered home on a 500-square-foot lot at the tip of the L’Enfant plan.
