Transit Oriented Development
In urban planning, transit-oriented development (TOD) is a type of urban development that maximizes the amount of residential, business and leisure space within walking distance of public transport. It promotes a symbiotic relationship between dense, compact urban form and public transport use.

Areas that center a transit station as a hub while building residential-focused TOD development in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
