Transit-Oriented Development
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)
TOD Example – Curitiba, Brazil - One of the earliest and most successful examples - Integrated its zoning laws and transportation planning to place high-density development adjacent to high-capacity transportation systems - Focused on unique adaptations, such as bus routes (inexpensive infrastructure) with routing systems, limited access and speeds similar to subway systems - Part of participatory city planning that emphasizes public education, discussion and agreement
Metro Vancouver and TOD LIVABLE REGION PLAN – 1996 Strong history of creating new development S around Skytrain lines Created concept of regional town centres on S the major stations and transit corridors – i.e., Metrotown
