“15-Minute Cities County Wide”: How it Happened in One Alabama County: 2009 Research Paper
Smart City Innovator ABI Research, National Digital Twin reported that by 2025, some 500 cities around the world will be using some sort of urban twin up from just a handful now.
Are you aware of Smart Codes which supersede local zoning codes in your city and state? 👇You should get involved with your local city council and building development committee to stop our dystopian future from materializing. Read on to find out if your city has adopted the “15-Minute Smart City” concept.
County SmartCodes. “Finally, though many local governments need not conform to state or regional plans when drafting zoning ordinances, when adopting the SmartCode, cities might want to reach out to neighboring towns.” For example, both Pike Road and Montgomery are located in Montgomery County, Alabama. While both towns are authorized to create zoning regulations, the county is not. Because both of these towns’ adopted the SmartCode, Montgomery County, Alabama, has a somewhat unified system of zoning. While small rural towns and their larger neighbors often differ on very important, revenue-related issues, they must also recognize that neither can exist in a vacuum. Each is dependent on the other, and the citizens of both communities must learn how to grow and prosper together.

Conclusion:
“While we cannot foresee every potential problem of commercial, industrial, and residential space, the SmartCode at least attempts to solve some of the problems faced by cities of all sizes. The future of the SmartCode, as with the future of many laws, depends on its practical implementation by elected officials, lawyers, and judges, and if it proves effective in reaching its goals, its ultimate utility will be seen when citizens can create vibrant, diverse, and self-sustaining communities.”
