Land Use Planning: Routine Inclusion of Bicycling and Walking in New Developments
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
2–3:30 p.m.
RSVP online
Broad land-use patterns and transportation policies determine whether walking and bicycling are not just possible, but practical and enjoyable. Understanding how the big picture works is essential for those engaged in regulating, designing and advocating for more sustainable transportation options. Attend this Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP) webinar to learn how land use policy and regulations are the basis for pedestrian and bicycle friendly communities, and what to look for in plan review. Through overview and examples of policy and regulations, and the experience of one small Wisconsin city (Fitchburg, pop. 20,000), you'll find out how innovative zoning codes and policies can help promote active transportation.
People attending this webinar will learn about:
- The connection between transportation and land use, and how it relates to Smart Growth
- The importance of connectivity and the benefits of street networks
- Smart Code/Form-based Code, including the Bicycle Module, as well as the urban-rural continuum of development contexts
- Land use policy vs. regulations, including what can be regulated through zoning and subdivision standards
