Transit-Oriented Development
A Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is a project that mixes residential and commercial opportunities with the objective of optimizing the use of land and maximizing access to public transport.
Transit-Oriented Development Projects
By implementing smart transit hubs, or transit-oriented developments, rail owners can offset capital costs of construction and secure long-term revenues to offset operating costs once in service. At the same time, they can achieve important sustainability goals and smart city initiatives. In that sense, transit hubs have the potential to be a great catalyst for adopting new development strategies that will make our cities more livable.
Putting Our Experience to Work for You
ARTISTA designs TOD projects that create vibrant and sustainable communities. We understand the importance of establishing a “Sense of Place” through the design and development of transportation solutions. Providing a range of interrelated planning and design services – from multi-jurisdictional policy planning to detailed streetscapes and plaza design – we use the link between transportation and land use as a catalyst for community revitalization and sustainable development. By emphasizing public involvement and incorporating all stakeholders in the process, we help improve mobility and create communities where people want to work and live.
ARTISTA’s Expertise in Transit-Oriented Development
Our services include growth management, planning and design services for community development, and civic infrastructure. Our overall approach allows for regional planning, urban design, transit and landscape architecture, brownfield redevelopment and station area and corridor planning and design.
TOD has brought value to several projects around the world and allowed for the completion of needed public transport infrastructure. One of the best examples is Bond Street Station in London, where two booking halls to the underground station have been designed to accommodate valuable development above ground in one of the world’s most expensive real estate areas. The revenue from this opportunity has provided a significant contribution to the new transport scheme.
Strategic Thinking for Underutilized Site
Our experts around the world have worked on a variety of projects, with diverse requirements, laying the groundwork for us to provide unique and innovative solutions.
A combination of good station design, a well-planned development scheme and public realm, and incorporation of information and automation technologies, can make smart transit hubs the center of the new smart-city, where residents and workers are mobile, informed and productive, ultimately creating a more resilient economy, while stretching the infrastructure investment dollar further.
