How To Build Institutions And Enable Intergovernmental Coordination

The success of TOD depends entirely on the abilities of the agency involved to create change. To enable these agencies to work towards TOD goals, it is imperative to consider defining a complete framework that will support their work and enable greater coordination and more effective TOD interventions. This tool will help define the key requirements for an enabling framework, largely from the point of view on institutions and how they can work together for better results.

Making Case for TOD to the Public

One key enabling issue around TOD is the difficulty of crosssectoral integration; without it, transport, housing and landuse policies are developed in isolation and when aggregated in an attempt at TOD, the nuances of the trade-offs between sectors are lost. As TOD happens at different scales under many jurisdictions, it is essential that practitioners understand the motives of each stakeholder, possible trade-offs, and how interests can be better aligned for successful implementation.
