Transitoriented development

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is an urban planning approach that promotes the creation of compact, walkable communities centered around public transportation hubs, like train or bus stations. The goal is to reduce reliance on cars, increase accessibility to jobs and services, and encourage environmentally friendly living. By placing homes, shops, and recreational areas near transit options, TOD fosters vibrant neighborhoods, enhances public health by promoting walking, and minimizes traffic congestion. Ultimately, it aims to create sustainable and efficient urban environments that benefit both residents and the environment.
