Form-Based Code planning regimes elevate development patterns that prioritize form and character prescriptions over more traditional use-based practices. ArcGIS Urban is an ideally suited tool to communicate and evaluate prospective development scenarios consistent with the design features prescribed by Form-Based Codding. In this session we will explore the suitability of ArcGIS Urban in Rural or No-Growth development scenarios via an evaluation of three procedurally divergent Kauai Form-Based Codes.

Adapting digital twin technology for the management of existing buildings has already saved Hastings District Council time & money. Building a new virtual replica of the Toitoi Arts and Events Centre allows asset managers to access details for each building element with just a click, and to remotely monitor the facility's use and performance. The Council is believed to be the first in New Zealand to apply this technology to existing buildings. Toitoi's ArcGIS enterprise driven digital twin provides a more efficient and effective business model to streamline asset management processes.

Micromobility hubs (MMHs) are a solution for managing shared active transport vehicles in public space and connecting to other modes of transportation. We adapted the Collablocation geodesign platform to facilitate collaborative stakeholder design of MMH networks in three 2-hour workshops in Tempe, AZ. The 27 participants produced 3 final designs with 149 sites near parks, bus, rail, bike lanes, and business districts, and were reluctant to place sites within residential areas. Participant surveys indicated that the workshops supported efficient knowledge exchange between stakeholders.
