Transit Oriented Development, an Update about EU and US Approach

Abstract

After 25 years from its first formulation, Transit Oriented Development (T.O.D.) is going to be applied in several metropolis of east and middle east, where new metro lines are under implementation; for some of those the public transportation is arriving for the first time, or is going to be massively implemented, as in Saudi Arabia.Beside developing infrastructures for public transportation, the new metro projects are going to bring a new improvement in the urban structure, from a mono-centric and autooriented, into a pedestrian-friendly and transit-oriented metropolis.The success of the new Metro will pass by the successful development of the involved districts as T.O.D. neighbourhoods.This is going to be successful only working by procedural strategies on strongly integrated methodologies for analysis, design, maintenance as post production and the management of the whole process, before than just going for the usual planning and urban or architectural design projects.Starting from the guidelines of Transit Oriented Development Institutes and the several case studies in the USA, the research will extend into the most successful urban development strategies in Europe, through direct experience and monitoring of the results for the selected projects within the last 15 years.
