Fisher Town Design is a new Urbanist design firm that is ready to help you create climate friendly walkable neighborhoods. We do this by smart zoning and excellent urban design. These walkable environments are climate-friendly, reducing greenhouse gasses by up to 40%. We utilize the form-based SmartCode, the principles of New Urbanism and the charrette process, to design and code walkable neighborhoods, towns and regions for municipalities, agencies and developers as an alternative to auto-oriented sprawl. Our projects are located across the country and include SmartCodes for Charleston, SC, Flagstaff, AZ, Carmel, IN, Hamden, CT and multiple projects in California. California projects include the Sonoma Mountain Village in Rohnert Park, an infill SmartCode for the reuse of former Agilent facility, Quarry Village in Hayward and Artisan Village in El Dorado Hills.
Lois Fisher, president, is a graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and is a LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP).

She currently serves on the United States Green Building Council’s Location and Planning Technical Advisory Committee for LEED for Neighborhood Design, working to improve that rating system.
