Transit Oriented Development

Public transportation is often a city’s best strategy to curb congestion and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But rapidly expanding populations and insufficient financing resources pose significant challenges. Transit-Oriented Development, or TOD, offers innovative strategies that are both financially viable and environmentally friendly, deliver high-quality services, and create vibrant and livable communities.

    This study explores the complex process of transit and land-use integration in rapidly growing cities in developing countries. It first identifies barriers to and opportunities for effective coordination of transit infrastructure and urban development. It then recommends a set of policies and implementation measures for overcoming these barriers and exploiting these opportunities.

    • GPSC Compendium: Strategy and Innovation for Bus Reforms in Developing Countries

    In developing countries, buses are the backbone of public transit, and the poor depend on them to access employment and other urban services. But these bus services are often unsafe, offer poor service, and are environmentally unfriendly. Bus-based public transit has been dominated by three inadequate models, and poorly run and weakly regulated bus-based public transit strains cities competitiveness and finance.

    • Rail Plus Property Development in China: the Pilot Case of Shenzhen

    China’s cities face significant challenges in financing the growth of urban transit infrastructure. The current practice of financing urban metro or subway projects through municipal fiscal revenues (partly from land concession fees) and government-backed bank loans is not only inadequate to meet the demand, but also exacerbates deep-seated problems. In a variety of approaches that aim to alleviate the financing problems of local governments, Rail plus Property (R+P) development offers a promising solution.

    • Governance of Inclusive Transit-Oriented Development in Brazil

    Transit-oriented development (TOD)—a planning strategy focused on building compact, mixed-use neighborhoods with access to high-quality public transport and mobility options—is key to sustainable urbanization. However, TOD can be exclusive in its design and implementation, leading to the displacement of low-income residents and the gentrification of neighborhoods.
