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.

    • Planning for Transit-Oriented Development in Emerging Cities

    Urbanization is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, making sustainable and efficient urban planning critical. Planning for Transit-Oriented Development in Emerging Cities offers a comprehensive guide to transforming rapidly growing urban areas into vibrant, transit-oriented communities. The book emphasizes the importance of integrating land use regulations with transport planning. By aligning these two elements, cities can promote higher densities, mixed land uses, and pedestrian friendly environments, which are essential for effective public transport systems.

  • Abstract

    • TOD Implementation Resources and Tools

    Transit-oriented development, commonly known as TOD, is a planning and design strategy that focuses on creating urban development patterns which facilitate the use of public transit,walking and cycling, as primary modes of transport and which supports vibrant, diverse and livable communities. This is achieved by concentrating urban densities, communities and activities within a 5-10 minute walking distance from mass rapid transit stations (both bus and rail-based), developing quality urban space and providing convenient and efficient access to a diverse mix of land uses.

    • Projects and Programs Manual to Encourage Cycling in Communities

    Cycling is already an important part of daily life many of Brazil’s urban residents. To grow the country’s cycling culture as well as provide better conditions for users, EMBARQ Brazil developed this “Manual of Projects and Programs for Encouraging Cycling in Communities” in partnership with the Institute of Architects of Brazil (IAB – RJ). The manual gathers successful experiences in the field of urban mobility and sustainable transport and brings together these examples into concrete lessons to create a technical guide for future urban cycling projects.
