Overview
Delightful, clean, equitable, economically diverse and safe cities are the objective. Yet, despite the promise of walkable, transit-rich compact cities, there are gaps in knowledge and models. For example, the interactions of local land-use plans with public transportation provision to transform automobile-dependent metropolitan regions are largely unknown or opaque to decision makers. The book aims to uncover the capacity for redevelopment, both possible and necessary, to achieve a long-ranged transformation from an Automobile-Dependent City to a Transit-Oriented Region. It will prepare a replicable method based on available data to more clearly see the pay-offs and trade-offs of policy levers of sustainable transport and land-use planning. The results show that depending on the building heights, mixes of land use, transportation mode capacity and other factors, it is possible to build the next generations’ requirements of parks, housing, commercial and retail spaces along high-capacity rail public transit corridors. The results demonstrate
