The SmartCode is a model transect-based development code available for all scales of planning, from the region to the community to the block and building. The code is intended for local calibration to your town or neighborhood. As a form-based code, the SmartCode keeps towns compact and rural lands open, while reforming the destructive sprawl-producing patterns of separated use zoning.

Chad Emerson is a Professor of Law at Faulkner University.  He is a frequent lecturer and published author in the areas of land planning law, intellectual property law, and amusement & leisure law.  He currently teaches Land Planning, Property I & II, and Intellectual Property courses.

In addition to his teaching and research projects, Chad is also the administrator of the SmartCode zoning law listserv.

The cost of this event is FREE. Lunch will be provided by Alabama Power Company.
