TOD design concepts typically include a central transportation hub like a train station, light rail terminus, or bus terminal that is surrounded by a high-density mixed-use development, with lower-density developed areas spreading out from this central point.

As a form of urban development, transit-oriented development (TOD) maximizes the amount of residential, business, and leisure space within walking distance of public transport facilities. TOD places more emphasis on design that increases interest in walking, by providing a scale that is appropriate ...
The purpose of this paper is to take advantage of Transit Oriented Development concepts to simultaneously solve two major urban area problems: (a) renovation of deteriorated urban areas and prevention of urban sprawl, and (b) design of transit network and promotion of tra...
Open city design concepts provide an alternative development model to gated communities offering enhanced connectivity, safe and attractive public realm, a greater mix of uses. One successful example of urban integration is the Liuyue compound in Guangzhou. It was regenerated during the 2000s and is...
Peter Calthorpe codified the concept of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the late 1980's and, while others had promoted similar concepts and contributed to the design, TOD became a fixture of modern planning when Calthorpe published The New American Metropolis in 1993. TOD has been defined ...
Some parts of the San Diego Trolley have been in operation since 1981, but there are still only a few projects that both incorporate TOD concepts and were built after planning for the nearby rail line began. TOD projects were pursued most aggressively in the City of La Mesa, largely because...
This document presents an overview of six key concepts for planning transit-oriented communities. (1) Destinations: create direct transit lines to high demand destinations; (2) Distance: keep distances walkable; (3) Design: design with pedestrian and bicyclists in mind; (4) Density: density shoul...

The concept of transit-oriented development (TOD) originated in the USA in the early 1990s, and was widely accepted and applied worldwide over the following decades. Recently, along with the massive construction of urban rail transit systems, TOD has become a major focus of researchers and plann...
