TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

Our focus was to improve the sustainability and livability of urban areas in a major city. The primary objectives of this study were multifaceted, incorporating urban planning and public policy. The first goal aimed at promoting a compact and efficient city structure, focusing specifically on the city’s centers. By encouraging a denser city layout, we intended to maximize space efficiency and facilitate easier access to amenities and services.

Secondly, we strived to create dynamic, livable mixed-use, mixed-income environments in and around transit station areas. By diversifying these zones, we hoped to cater to a wider demographic, enhancing the vibrancy and inclusivity of the urban landscape.

Thirdly, we proposed to stimulate economic growth and real estate development within high-capacity public transit corridors. This effort was expected to leverage transit-oriented development and attract investments, creating more job opportunities and reinforcing the local economy.

Lastly, we sought to reduce private car dependency within these corridors, pushing towards a green and more sustainable urban transportation system. The study encapsulates these objectives and their strategic implementation, offering insights into the challenges and successes encountered along the way.
