suburban sprawl and urban disinvestment. The firm first received international recognition in the
1980s as the designer of
Seaside, Florida and
Kentlands, Maryland, and has completed designs and codes for over two hundred new towns, regional plans, and community revitalization projects. At DPZ, Duany also led the development of comprehensive municipal
zoning ordinances that prescribe appropriate urban arrangement for all uses and all densities.
