🌍 What is TOD?
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is an urban planning model that creates compact, sustainable communities around public transit hubs (metro, tram, BRT). It prioritizes walking, cycling, and public transport over car dependency, transforming how cities grow.
🎯 Core Objectives:
✅ Reduce traffic congestion
✅ Lower carbon emissions
✅ Enhance livability by placing homes, jobs, and leisure spaces within walking distance of transit.
🚆 Why is TOD Essential for Smart Cities?
1. Less Car Dependency
✔ Cuts pollution & traffic jams
✔ Saves fuel & parking costs
2. Vibrant, Livable Communities
✔ Mixed-use spaces (housing, offices, retail, parks)
✔ Walkable streets & bike-friendly infrastructure
3. Economic Growth
✔ 20-40% higher property values near transit
✔ Boosts commercial & residential development
4. Sustainability
✔ Shrinks cities’ carbon footprint
✔ Improves energy efficiency
🌏 Global TOD Success Stories
| City | Project | Results |
|---|---|---|
| Tokyo | Multi-use train stations | 90% use public transit daily |
| Copenhagen | Bike-friendly districts | 50% commute by bicycle |
| Dubai | Metro-centered development | Increased density near stations |
📌 How to Implement TOD?
1. Integrated Planning
✔ Blend transit hubs with housing, retail & leisure
2. Supportive Policies
✔ Incentives for developers near transit
3. Pedestrian & Cycling Infrastructure
