DEFINING TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT: THE NEW REGIONAL BUILDING BLOCK. IN: THE NEW TRANSIT TOWN: BEST PRACTICES IN TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
Over the past decade there has been a major shift in consumer preferences, employer location strategies, and transportation planning values. Sitting as it does, at the convergence of these trends, transit-oriented development (TOD) has the potential to form a new approach to development that builds on their synergy and results in places and regions that meet the demand for location-efficient mixed-use neighborhoods, supports regional economic growth strategies, and increases housing affordability and choice. TOD could be nothing less than the defining armature for a fundamental rethinking about how communities are built and how regional policy and investment decisions are made. This chapter attempts to determine what, specifically, TOD should aim for, and also defines a basic understanding of the TOD concept.
