Abstract: *Form-Based Codes: A Guide for Planners, Urban Designers, Municipalities, and Developers* explores an innovative approach to urban planning that prioritizes the physical form of buildings and public spaces. The guide offers insights for stakeholders looking to create sustainable, walkable, and visually cohesive communities. It covers the principles, components, and implementation process of form-based codes, supported by successful case studies. Practical tools and real-world examples assist in overcoming challenges in urban development. The book also provides resources for further learning, positioning itself as both a foundational resource and a call to action for building equitable, resilient cities.
