Urban Design Decoder

Getting to Know the Language

The Urban Design Decoder is a learning tool to aid in the education of the planning process of the community. Made in conjunction with the Urban Design series, this booklet can help guide you through some of the unfamiliar jargon within the Comp Plan or start as a jumping-off point for those who want to get more involved with planning.

The purpose of the Decoder is to:

• Make planning language accessible to the community

• Provide information on planning processes to the greater community

• Increase the knowledge of the planning process
