Abstract [en]
Transit-oriented development (TOD) is a highly dense, diverse, pedestrian-friendly, accessible, and affordable urban structure within proximity to transit facilities. It embraces the idea that locating the right urban development around transit facilities promotes sustainable transportation, i.e., the use of transit, walking, and cycling. A successful TOD at the metropolitan level is inclusive and is often an effective way to create land values at the neighborhood level. Delivering positive outcomes of TOD in metropolitan cities is not easy and necessitates well-balanced urban design decisions. This chapter focuses on what planning parameters that need special attention to alleviate TOD as a sustainable transport strategy for mitigating urban problems in metropolitan cities, by taking Delhi as a suitable case study.
