General

Transit-oriented development (TOD) is a type of urban development that maximizes residential, business, and leisure space within walking distance of public transportation, typically integrating mixed land uses to promote sustainable and efficient cities. This approach reduces car dependence, increases public transit ridership, and enhances walkability and economic development.
