Phase 2B: West End Master Plan & Form-Based Code

Portsmouth, New Hampshire

TPUDC returned to the City of Portsmouth to conduct a third form-based code planning charrette for the Islington Street Corridor in 2015. Priorities of the corridor project included allowing appropriately scaled infill to restore gaps in the streetscape while preserving each area’s unique character, improving connectivity and focusing on safe alternative transportation networks. 

TPUDC conducted a third charrette in Portsmouth and continued many of the discussions that had begun in previous Town charrettes including building scale and design, workforce and affordable housing, and redevelopment of historic industrial sites.
