When TOD moves into the neighborhood : towards locally-sustainable transit-oriented developmentFried, Justin Solomon 14 November 2013 (has links)
This paper investigates how transit-oriented development can protect and enhance
community sustainability. This study explores literature on community capacity, social
capital, and neighborhood change to generate a definition of community sustainability
appropriate for urban neighborhoods in transition. It then looks at current models
proposed in the literature for assessing transit-oriented development (TOD), and finds
little of relevance for the concerns of social sustainability. The study then draws
sustainability indicators from other social science literature and assesses their usefulness
for transit-oriented development. Finally, it develops a set of indicators appropriate for
measuring the performance of TOD in protecting or enhancing community sustainability
in these neighborhoods. These indicators can be used as a starting point for agencies and
local groups to develop outcome-oriented measures of success for the local sustainability
of future transit-oriented developments. / text

Station area access within transit-oriented development : a typological analysisHennigan, Matthew Francis 14 November 2013 (has links)
Transit joint development (TJD) is a specific component of transit-oriented
development (TOD) characterized most commonly by a collaborative development
relationship between transit agencies and private developers. A spatial evaluation of
public and private properties within TOD station areas offers a valuable and unique
point of view to examine the association between transit agencies, local government
and private developers. The link between transit space including entrances, exits,
lobbies, direct connections, multi-modal integration and immediately adjacent private
property is essential to the success of TOD. This report offers insight and analysis
concerning the spatial interface and access between public and private properties
within the station area from a multimodal standpoint in an effort to evaluate the
conditions that promote optimal pedestrian connectivity in harmony with the presence
of the automobile and other motorized forms of transportation. Within this report a station area spatial interface - access typology is
introduced, which captures the various interfaces between public and private
properties at transit station areas from a multimodal perspective. The Dallas Area
Rapid Transit (DART) rail system was the model for this typology To better
understand the spatial relationship between these principal TOD players, an
evaluation of the factors that affect the physical composition of TOD - TJD station
areas is also conducted. These factors include site limitations and opportunities,
financial arrangements, and land use regulatory policy. / text

Transit oriented regions : past and present thoughts on regionalismHall, Andrea Lynn 21 November 2013 (has links)
As society finds it itself on the brink of new social, economic and political upheavals,
a reconsideration of the make-up of regions is necessary. From time to time, these
changes manifest as migrations from one line of thought to another. Moreover, these
changes were predicted and observed by notable historic figures in planning and
regional theory. It is the intent of this report is to note and link the connections
between historic figureheads and contemporary proponents of regional form and its
interconnectedness to transportation infrastructure. This report goes on to provide
examples of barriers to modern implementation of regional transit-oriented
development and also to provide case studies where positive interaction between local
governments has resulted in regional forms and transportation networks that embody
new solutions in a changing socio-economic and environmental constructs. / text

Evaluation criteria for successful suburban-style transit-oriented development : a case study of TOD plans for commuter rail in the Austin, TX metropolitan areaHercules, Jason Michael 21 November 2013 (has links)
This paper seeks to determine how the elements of true Transit-Oriented
Development (TOD) can successfully be implemented in a suburban setting. The author
establishes firm criteria for creating successful TOD. These criteria are then used to
evaluate both TOD and neighborhood plans for case study sites in the Austin, TX
metropolitan area. The paper completes this evaluation by pointing out synergies,
discrepancies and offering recommendations for improvement, based on the case studies. / text

Market feasibility analysis of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Station Transit Oriented Development ZoneAshby, Michael David 25 November 2013 (has links)
The area surrounding Capital Metro’s Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) MetroRail Station was designated a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) zone and a plan was published in 2009. However, to date there has been very little development, and the development that has occurred is significantly different from what is called for by the plan. This report examines some of the difficulties of implementing TOD in Austin and the factors that could contribute to successful TOD projects. A market analysis of the MLK Station Area explores the economic feasibility of developing land there to its highest and best use. It concludes that the general dearth of TOD in Austin and lack of dense, mixed-use development in the MLK neighborhood make the kind of development called for in the MLK Station Area Plan excessively risky for developers. However, a more conventional multifamily development would be feasible, and increased station-area density could contribute to the success of future TOD. / text

Evidence Based Principles for Transit Oriented DevelopmentPennick, Christopher 13 May 2014 (has links)
Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone / This paper discusses the theory of transit oriented development and attempts to create an effectually structured set of best practices through the study and modification of the documentation that currently exist. To identify the core elements or “principles” that go into constructing a transit oriented development plan. To do this a [deconstructive] qualitative survey of more than 30 projects or municipal planning documents that self-identified as transit oriented was conducted. The result was six goals that were deemed essential to the creation of “good” transit oriented development. The six goals were then combined with empirical research from academic and practicing professionals in the field to form recommendations for new best practices.

Cambie and Marine Station Area Design EvolutionSCARP students 12 1900 (has links)
The work summarized in this book was undertaken
for a course at the School of Community and
Regional Planning at UBC. The course was
entitled Theory and Methods of Urban Design
and it covered the fundamentals of urban design by
inviting students to apply theory to neighbourhood
design. The course surveyed major historical and
contemporary trends in urban design theory and
practice, and introduced contemporary theories on
the future forces affecting the development and
functioning of urban regions. Students discussed
cities at multiple scales and applied their evolving
understanding to neighbourhood scale development
in the Marine Drive Station Area in Marpole,
Vancouver. This book presents
the weekly progression of designs with summaries
of the design interventions and critiques. The final
outcome represents weeks of deliberation, discussion,
and incremental growth towards a neighbourhood that
is responsive to the anticipated challenges of climate
change, peak oil, increased and aging population, and
the need for complete healthy walkable communities.
