Modules

To supplement the base SmartCode available at SmartCode Central and to respond to climate change imperatives, CATS has commissioned numerous transect-based Modules from prominent New Urbanist practitioners. Some are repackaging of 2008 Modules but many are new. They are Version 1.0 drafts; we welcome feedback.
