The new land development code will determine what can be built in Austin and where.

The City of Austin on Friday releasedanother iteration of its land development code; these rules dictate what can be built in the city, how much can be built and where. The process has taken nearly eight years and cost more than $10 million.

The city is hosting public meetings for residents to learn and ask questions about the new code. You can also sign-up for a one-on-one meeting with city staff, which you’ll need to register for ahead of time.

Here are the meetings taking place over the next month:
