Montgomery, Alabama, approved the SmartCode

Montgomery, Alabama, approved the SmartCode as mandatory regulation for downtown development. Montgomery County, centered on the city, is a SmartCode hotbed. In 2005, the county’s only other incorporated municipality, Pike Road, approved the SmartCode as well. Pike Road’s code is mandatory for several key growth corridors, and optional for the remaining areas. Pike Road is located in the sprawling eastern part of the county. One of the most successful TNDs of recent years, The Waters, is located in Pike Road and designed to SmartCode standards. The SmartCode now governs for both urban infill and suburban greenfield development in the county.
