Environmental Footprint
-
58 percent of China’s 1.38 billion population resides in urban areas.
-
China is estimated to add 255 million urban residents by 2050.2
-
7.5 metric tons of CO2 emissions per capita are generated each year in China.
Project’s Climate Benefits
An estimated total reduction of 62 million metric tons of CO2 emissions directly and indirectly
Project Focus
The project focuses on integrating transit infrastructure with urban development. It will complement China’s ambitious infrastructure goals—specifically, achieving a total of 6,000 km of urban rail infrastructure and 4,000 metro stations by 2020. The program comprises various scales:
-
A National Platform, which will develop a Chinese TOD toolkit that cities can use to evaluate their implementation readiness, assist in the design of relevant strategies, and evaluate the impact of those strategies.
-
City-level TOD technical assistance and pilot, which will ensure that TOD strategies are reflected in city master and sectoral plans, zoning regulations, and urban design schemes.
-
Pilot projects at subdistrict, corridor, and station level, which will implement lessons learned from technical assistance activities and develop guidelines for improving multimodal connectivity.
