The document discusses how a small city used partnerships and a form-based code to refresh and develop real estate. It describes the community engagement process used to create a shared vision and code, and how the code has advantages like supporting a mix of uses and improving the pedestrian experience. The city continues to employ the code through a renaissance corporation to further neighborhood and downtown development goals.
