Decode the Codes

So you've got a brilliant idea to activate that vacant lot down the street. If you want to bring your idea to fruition, you now have to contain what in many cases is a Pandora's Box of zoning codes, policies, and regulations that stand in your way.

Congrats Mike & Chris on your winning "Decode the Codes" concept!

Was inspired not only by your earlier inspirations, but also by your iterative visualization, & interview efforts to get stakeholder/expert input.

Mike (& Christopher Glasso) came out of nowhere & wowed us on the Virbant Cities Challenge with their innovative Decode the Codes concept. We were impressed with their human-centered approach and agile updates based on real-world enquiry. We look forward to hearing how they progress with their development of this enabling idea!
