NOTE: To help explain the zoning and incremental code reform concepts discussed in Enabling Better Places: A Handbook for Improved Neighborhoods, this 24 page publication is filled with photographs of real places that show the suggested solutions in action. Most of the images in this handbook were taken before the need for social distancing and mask wearing due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
