For some redevelopment districts, guidelines have been adopted that are tailored to foster particular architectural forms and development patterns in some of Nashville’s urban neighborhoods. Reviewable design guidelines for specific neighborhoods are available on the Redevelopment Districts page. (If you are unable to download a document and need a printed version, call 615-252-3750.)
