open access: yesCities
To support the implementation of transit-oriented development (TOD) in different contexts, researchers and planners increasingly use TOD typologies. While the methodologies developed to generate TOD typologies are frequently meant to be transferable across different contexts, no studies explicitly analyze and describe how to adapt these methodologies ...

Green TODs: marrying transit-oriented development and green urbanism

International Journal of Sustainable Development & World Ecology, 2011
Transit-oriented development (TOD) and green urbanism have gained attention as development models for charting a more sustainable urban future. These two built forms, however, are often dealt with separately, as distinct topics. This paper explores synergies that are created when neighbourhoods are designed as both green and transit-oriented and how ...

Transit-oriented development (TOD) or development-oriented transit (DOT): how does it matter for sustainable urban growth?

International Journal of Sustainable Development & World Ecology
Urban growth patterns occur in various ways with tangible practical consequences. A key dilemma with regard to development and transportation revolves around whether the former follows the latter or vice versa. This study assessed this nexus with transit-oriented development (TOD) and development-oriented development (DOT) cases by using the land use ...

However, some question the city-shaping potential of BRT, in part due to a belief it delivers fewer regional accessibility benefits than rail, but also to the social stigma some assign to bus-based forms of mass ...
