Form-based codes are “A method of regulating development to achieve a specific urban
form. Form-Based Codes create a predictable public realm primarily by controlling
physical from, with a lesser focus on land use, through city or county regulations.”1
Based on their ability to regulate the form and design of the built environment while
looking to historic patterns of development and existing architecture, it seems that formbased
codes should go hand-in-hand with historic preservation. This thesis explores that
possibility by analyzing three case studies in Nashville, Tennessee, and concludes that
form-based codes do indeed have the potential for success in preserving the character of
historic areas. / Introduction -- Evolution of land development regulations -- Form-based planning in Nashville -- Three Nashville case studies -- Form-based codes and historic preservation. / Department of Architecture
