Editing Transit-oriented development (section)

==In cities==
Many cities throughout the world are developing TOD policy. [[Toronto]], [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]], [[Montreal]], [[San Francisco]], and [[Vancouver]] among many other cities have developed, and continue to write policies and strategic plans, which aim to reduce [[automobile dependency]] and increase the use of public transit.

[[File:Onibus Pinheirinho Curitiba.jpg|thumb|299x299px|[[Curitiba]]'s [[Rede Integrada de Transporte|RIT]] in Praça do Japão]]

====Curitiba, Brazil====
One of the earliest and most successful examples of TOD is [[Curitiba]], [[Brazil]].<ref>{{cite web

Curitiba was organized into transport corridors very early on in its history. Over the years, it has integrated its zoning laws and transportation planning to place high-density development adjacent to high-capacity transportation systems, particularly its [[Rede Integrada de Transporte|BRT corridors]]. Since the failure of its first rather grandiose city plan due to lack of funding, Curitiba has focused on working with economical forms of infrastructure, so it has arranged unique adaptations, such as bus routes (inexpensive infrastructure) with routing systems, limited access and speeds similar to subway systems. The source of innovation in Curitiba has been a unique form of participatory city planning that emphasizes public education, discussion and agreement.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Cervero|first1=Robert|title=The Transit Metropolis: A Global Inquiry |date=1998 |publisher=Island Press |location=Washington|isbn=9781559635912}}</ref>

====Guatemala City, Guatemala====

In an attempt to control the rapid growth of [[Guatemala City]], the long-time mayor, [[Álvaro Arzú]], implemented a plan to control growth based on transects along important arterial roads and exhibiting transit-oriented development (TOD) characteristics. The plan adopted POT (Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial) aims to allow the construction of taller mixed-use building structures right by large arterial roads. The buildings would gradually decrease in height and density as distance would increase from arterial roads.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://pot.muniguate.com/ |title=:::... Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial - Tú eres la Ciudad, Municipalidad de Guatemala, cumple ... |language=es |publisher=Pot.muniguate.com |access-date=July 8, 2009 |archive-date=July 21, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090721165845/http://pot.muniguate.com/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> That is being implemented simultaneously with a [[bus rapid transit]] (BRT) system, called [[Transmetro]].

====Mexico City, Mexico====

Mexico City has battled pollution for years. Many attempts have been made to orient citizens towards public transportation. Expansion of metro line, both subway and bus, have been instrumental. Following the example of Curitiba, many bus-lines were created on many of Mexico City's most important streets. The bus-line has taken two lanes from cars to be used only by the bus-line, increasing the flow for bus transit. The city has also made great attempts at increasing the number of bike lanes, including shutting down entire roads on certain days to be used only by bikers.

Car regulations have also increased in the city. New regulations prevent old cars from driving in the city, other cars from driving on certain days. Electric cars are allowed to be driven every day and have free parking. Decreasing the public space allocated to cars and increasing regulations have become a great annoyance among daily car users. The city hopes to push people to use more public transport.

===North America===

====Canada====
All major Canadian cities have transit oriented development policies and implementations. The main purposes of these policies has been to kerb suburban sprawl, and to increase housing supply amidst a housing crisis. In addition, it comes in response to a shifting population demographic that prefers high density living.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Transit Oriented Communities |url=https://www.metrolinx.com/en/about-us/doing-business-with-metrolinx/development-opportunities/transit-oriented-communities |access-date=2024-10-17 |website=www.metrolinx.com |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":2" />

Some cities, such as Toronto, Ottawa, and especially Vancouver, have a long history of building new communities near transit, and they often plan development and rapid transit simultaneously.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=Why Ottawa built an LRT station in the middle of nowhere |work=ottawacitizen |url=https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/bowesville-ottawas-lrt-station-to-nowhere}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Canada's Most Important Transit Oriented Development {{!}} UrbanToronto |url=https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2024/05/canadas-most-important-transit-oriented-development.56024 |access-date=2024-10-17 |website=urbantoronto.ca}}</ref><ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /><ref name="BC Business" /> Others, such as Calgary and Montréal, have only implemented TOD policies recently, and there is some debate as to whether it is better to build new transit to existing high density neighbourhoods, or build high density neighbourhoods near existing transit.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Cournoyer-Gendron |first1=Maude |title=The Transit-Oriented Development Model in Montreal (Canada): Mobilizing a Concept and Negotiating Urban Development at the Local and Metropolitan Scale |journal=Environnement Urbain |date=2017 |volume=12 |doi=10.7202/1050578ar }}</ref>{{multiple image

=====Calgary, Alberta=====
Calgary's Transit Oriented Development (TOD) has been evolving largely around stations along Calgary's Light Rail Transit (LRT) system, also known as the [[CTrain]] network. Although Calgary's CTrain system has been around since 1981, TOD activity has been fairly recent, with much of development taking place since 2010. Most of the transit oriented development has taken place along the LRT system's [[Red Line (CTrain)|Red Line]] especially around stations of the northwest leg with areas around stations at Brentwood, Dalhousie, and Banff Trail having seen the most development. [[Brentwood station (Calgary)|Brentwood Station]] for example, with multi-building developments such as University City, has seen almost 900 residential units<ref>{{cite web|url=https://calgary.skyrisecities.com/database/projects/university-city |title=University City |publisher=Calgary.skyrisecities.com |access-date=3 March 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://calgary.skyrisecities.com/database/projects/brio |title=Brio |publisher=Calgary.skyrisecities.com |access-date=3 March 2021}}</ref> built in the last eight years within the 600m radius of Brentwood station, as well as proposed developments that are in the works. On the south leg of the Red Line the massive Midtown Station proposal is a reversal from previous TOD builds where development is built around existing stations. In the case of Midtown Station,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://calgary.skyrisecities.com/forum/threads/midtown-station-multiple-buildings-ibi-group-midtown-station.31616/ |title=Midtown Station |date=September 28, 2020 |publisher=Calgary.skyrisecities.com |access-date=3 March 2021}}</ref> the proposal is along the CTrain line, but includes building a new station solely for the purpose of serving the development.

For The City of Calgary, TOD's are an ongoing process, but the city has published policy guidelines and implementation strategies for Transit Oriented Development.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.calgary.ca/content/dam/www/pda/pd/documents/transit-oriented-development/tod-implentation-strategy.pdf |title=Transit Oriented Development Implementation Strategy |publisher=City of Calgary |access-date=3 March 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.calgary.ca/content/dam/www/pda/pd/documents/transit-oriented-development/tod-policy-guidelines.pdf |title=Transit Oriented Development Policy Guidelines |publisher=City of Calgary |access-date=3 March 2021}}</ref>

=====Edmonton, Alberta=====
Most of the suburban high rises were not along major rail lines like other cities until recently, when there has been incentive to do so. [[Century Park, Edmonton|Century Park]] is a growing condo community in southern Edmonton at the south end of the [[Edmonton LRT]] system. It will include low to high rise condos, recreational services, shops, restaurants, and a fitness centre. Edmonton has also had a transit-proximate development for some time in the northeastern suburbs at [[Clareview station|Clareview]] which includes a large park and ride, and low rise apartments among big box stores and associated power center parking. Edmonton is also looking into some new TODs in various parts of the city. In the northeast, there are plans to redevelop underutilized land at two sites around existing LRT, Fort Road and [[Stadium station (Edmonton)|Stadium station]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/planning_development/old-town-fort-road-redevelopment.aspx |title=Old Town Fort Road Redevelopment |publisher=City of Edmonton |access-date=October 21, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100922103220/http://edmonton.ca/city_government/planning_development/old-town-fort-road-redevelopment.aspx |archive-date=September 22, 2010 |df=mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/planning_development/stadium-station-transit-oriented-development.aspx |title=Stadium Station Transit Oriented Development |publisher=City of Edmonton |access-date=October 21, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101122075058/http://edmonton.ca/city_government/planning_development/stadium-station-transit-oriented-development.aspx |archive-date=November 22, 2010 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> In the west, there is plans to have some medium density condos in the [[Glenora, Edmonton|Glenora neighborhood]] along a future LRT route as well as a TOD in the southeast in the [[Strathearn, Edmonton|Strathearn neighborhood]] along the same future LRT on existing low rise apartments.

===== Kitchener-Waterloo =====
The [[Ion rapid transit|Ion light rail]] line in [[Regional Municipality of Waterloo|Kitchener-Waterloo]] initiated large amounts of new construction along the corridor, despite the city region being the smallest in North America to host a tramway. The first stage of the line created 19 000 new housing units along its length, as well as large scale industrial and commercial developments, valued at $5 billion.<ref>{{Cite web |title=In five years, ION light rail transformed Waterloo Region – Around the Region |url=https://aroundtheregion.ca/in-five-years-ion-light-rail-transformed-waterloo-region/ |access-date=2024-10-17 |website=aroundtheregion.ca}}</ref>

=====Ottawa, Ontario=====
Ottawa encourages high density development within 600m of all rapid transit stations, including both the bus rapid transit [[Transitway (Ottawa)|Transitway]] and the city's [[O-Train|urban rail]] system, with the goal of creating feature complete mixed use communities within walking distance to transit. The city simultaneously discourages auto oriented development, such as parking lots, in the same areas.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Planning |first=Development and Building Department |date=2023-09-18 |title=Development Guidelines |url=https://ottawa.ca/en/planning-development-and-construction/community-design/design-and-planning-guidelines/completed-guidelines/transit-oriented-development-guidelines/development-guidelines#section-530c0a44-ebba-467d-851d-b4826f5273e3 |access-date=2024-10-17 |website=ottawa.ca |language=en}}</ref>

This has had the effect of creating many tower clusters far outside the city centre, with stations like [[Lincoln Fields station|Lincoln Fields]] and [[Lycée Claudel station|Lycée Claudel]] having entire neighbourhoods appear around them.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=2019-06-10 |title=Autowa no more?

Toronto has a longstanding policy of encouraging new construction along the route of its primary [[Yonge–University–Spadina line|Yonge Street subway line]].<ref name=":3">{{cite journal|last1=Cervero|first1=Robert|title=Urban Transit in Canada: Integration and Innovation at its Best|journal=Transportation Quarterly|date=1986|volume=40|issue=3|pages=293–316 |hdl=2027/mdp.39015021808582?urlappend=%3Bseq=307 |hdl-access=free }}</ref> Most notable are the development of the [[Yonge and Eglinton]] area in the 1960s and 1970s; and the [[North York Centre|present development]] of the 2&nbsp;km of the Yonge Street corridor north of Sheppard Avenue, which began in the late 1980s. In the period since 1997 alone the latter stretch has seen the appearance of a major new [[Empress Walk|shopping centre]] and the building and occupation of over twenty thousand new units of [[Condominium (living space)|condominium]] housing. Since the opening of the [[Sheppard line|Sheppard subway line]] in 2002, there is a [[Condominium (living space)|condominium]] construction boom along the route on Sheppard Avenue East between Yonge Street and Don Mills Road.

In addition to the subway, transit oriented development has also started to be prioritised for regional rail stations, such as [[East Harbour Transit Hub|East Harbour GO]].

===== New Jersey =====
[[New Jersey]] has become a national leader in promoting [[Transit village#New Jersey_Transit_Village_Initiative|Transit Village]] development through a program known as the [http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/community/village/ Transit Village initiative]. The [[New Jersey Department of Transportation]] established the Transit Village Initiative in 1999, offering multi-agency assistance and grants from the annual $1 million Transit village fund to any municipality with a ready to go project specifying appropriate mixed land-use strategy, available property, station-area management, and commitment to affordable housing, job growth, and culture. Transit village development must also preserve the architectural integrity of historically significant buildings.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Transit Village Initiative Overview, Community Programs |url=https://www.state.nj.us/transportation/community/village/ |access-date=2023-09-17 |website=www.state.nj.us}}</ref> Transit Village districts are defined by the half mile radius surrounding the transit station. To become a Transit Village, towns must meet the following criteria: have existing transit, demonstrate a willingness to grow, adopt a transit-oriented-development redevelopment plan or zoning ordinance, identify specific TOD sites and projects, identify bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and identify "place making" efforts near the transit station, such as community events, celebrations, and other cultural or artistic events.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Criteria and Scoring Guide, Transit Village Initiative, Community Programs |url=https://www.state.nj.us/transportation/community/village/criteria.shtm |access-date=2023-09-17 |website=www.state.nj.us}}</ref>

=====New York City=====

Many neighborhoods in New York City are close to a New York City Subway station, this allows easy transport throughout the cities’ neighborhoods and central business districts. To maximize the usage of the New York City Subway, many subway stations are surrounded by transit-oriented development, with high-density residential and commercial buildings surrounding the subway station.

=====Salt Lake City Metro Area, Utah=====
The [[Salt Lake City metropolitan area|Salt Lake City Metro Area]] has seen a strong proliferation of transit-oriented developments due to the construction of new transit lines within the [[Utah Transit Authority]]'s [[TRAX (light rail)|TRAX]], ''[[FrontRunner]]'' and streetcar lines. New developments in [[West Valley City, Utah|West Valley]], [[Farmington, Utah|Farmington]], [[Murray, Utah|Murray]], [[Provo, Utah|Provo]], [[Kaysville, Utah|Kaysville]], [[Sugarhouse (Salt Lake City)|Sugarhouse]] and [[downtown Salt Lake City]] have seen rapid growth and construction despite the economic downturn. The population along the [[Wasatch Front]] has reached 2.5 million and is expected to grow 50% over the next two decades. At 29.8%, Utah's population growth more than doubled the population growth of the nation (13.2%), with a vast majority of this growth occurring along the Wasatch Front.

Transportation infrastructure has been vastly upgraded in the past decade as a result of the [[2002 Olympic Winter Games]] and the need to support the growth in population. This has created a number of transit-oriented commercial and residential projects to be proposed and completed.

Major transit village projects have been developed over the past 20 years at several stations linked to the [[Bay Area Rapid Transit]] (BART) system. In their 1996 book, ''Transit Villages in the 21st Century'', [[Michael S. Bernick|Michael Bernick]] and [[Robert Cervero]] identified emerging transit villages at several BART stations, including [[Pleasant Hill / Contra Costa Centre (BART station)|Pleasant Hill / Contra Costa Centre]], [[Fruitvale (BART station)|Fruitvale]], [[Hayward (BART station)|Hayward]] and [[Richmond Station (California)|Richmond]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Bernick|first1=Michael|last2=Cervero|first2=Robert|title=Transit Villages in the 21st Century |date=1997 |publisher=McGraw Hill |location=New York|isbn=9780070054752}}</ref> [[MacArthur station (BART)|MacArthur Station]] is a relatively new development, with construction beginning in 2011 and scheduled for completion after 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://macarthurstation.com/masterplan.php|title=Master Plan|website=MacArthur Station|access-date=June 2, 2017}}</ref>

=====Chicago=====
Chicago passed its first TOD ordinances in 2013. The city of Chicago started building TODs around rail stations throughout the metropolitan area. There have been concerns that these TODs were excluding minorities since most of the TODs were built in mainly white areas therefore leaving minorities out of the picture when it came to access to transit oriented development neighborhoods.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://nextcity.org/urbanist-news/chicago-hopes-to-center-equity-in-its-transit-oriented-development|title=Chicago Hopes to Center Equity in Its Transit-Oriented Development|website=nextcity.org}}</ref> The 2020 eTOD Policy Plan was created to fix the issues from the previous TOD plans, by creating more TOD developments in minority areas.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-09-15|title=Chicago releases first-ever equitable transit-oriented development plan|url=https://chi.streetsblog.org/2020/09/14/city-releases-first-ever-equitable-transit-oriented-development-plan/|access-date=2021-12-08|website=Streetsblog Chicago|language=en-US}}</ref>

[[File:ShatinTownCentre 20070831.jpg|thumbnail|[[Sha Tin]] town centre, built around the [[Sha Tin station|Sha Tin railway station]]]]
Compared to other developed economies, the car ownership rate in Hong Kong is very low, and approximately 90% of all trips are made by public transport.<ref>{{cite web|title=Provision of Public Transport Services|url=http://www.td.gov.hk/en/publications_and_press_releases/publications/free_publications/the_third_comprehensive_transport_study/5_coordination_of_different_transport_modes/|website=The Third Comprehensive Transport Study|publisher=Transport Department}}</ref>

In the mid-20th century, no railway was built until an area was well developed. However, in recent decades, [[Hong Kong]] has started to have some TODs, where a railway is built simultaneously with residential development above or nearby, dubbed the "Rail plus Property" (R+P) Model.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/capital-projects-and-infrastructure/our-insights/the-rail-plus-property-model|title=The 'Rail plus Property' model: Hong Kong's successful self-financing formula|website=McKinsey & Company|language=en|access-date=2018-09-06}}</ref> Examples include:

* [[LOHAS Park]]
* [[Olympian City]]
* [[Tung Chung]]
* [[Union Square (Hong Kong)|Union Square]]
The Rail plus Property model, which captures the [[value capture]] of land surrounding new public transport, allows Hong Kong to be one of the world's few profitable public transit systems, generating a profit of $1.5 billion in 2014.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The 'Rail plus Property' model: Hong Kong's successful self-financing formula {{!}} McKinsey |url=https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/operations/our-insights/the-rail-plus-property-model |access-date=2022-12-10 |website=www.mckinsey.com}}</ref>

====Indonesia====
Transit oriented development (TOD) areas are urban areas designed to integrate transit functions with people, activities, buildings and public spaces that aim to optimize access to public transportation. In Jakarta, [[ MRT Jakarta|PT MRT Jakarta]] (Perseroda) will build TOD areas at five points along the south-north corridor of [[Jakarta MRT|MRT Jakarta]]. The five points are [[Blok M BCA MRT station|Blok M]], [[Lebak Bulus Grab MRT station|Lebak Bulus]] and [[Fatmawati Indomaret MRT station|Fatmawati]] in [[South Jakarta]], as well as [[Dukuh Atas TOD|Dukuh Atas]] and [[Istora Mandiri MRT station|Istora Senayan]] in [[Central Jakarta]]. Each area has its own theme and concept according to the characteristics and needs of the local community. The TOD area is expected to provide benefits to the community, such as reducing congestion and air pollution, increasing a healthy and active lifestyle, expanding employment and economic opportunities, and creating added value for property. 

One example of the [[Dukuh Atas TOD]] is the transport hub that is being built by PT Moda Integrasi Transportasi Jabodetabek (MITJ) on Jalan Blora, in front of Sudirman Station. Transport hubs are vehicle exchange points and transit points where there is community interaction using transit. This transport hub will be a 20-storey building containing the Jakarta MRT office and other facilities. This transport hub will also be connected to the 250-meter Multipurpose Crossing Bridge (JPM) which connects various modes of public transportation in the Dukuh Atas area. The transport hub is expected to be operational in 2023. 

Many TOD are now being constructed in [[Jabodetabek|Greater Jakarta]] metro area such as [[Citra Sentul Raya]] and [[Dukuh Atas TOD]]. TOD are also being constructed in cities like [[Surabaya]], [[Medan]], and [[Palembang]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/01/09/developers-see-2019-as-good-year-for-building-near-transit-stops.html|title=Developers see 2019 as good year for building near transit stops|newspaper=The Jakarta Post|access-date=8 August 2019}}</ref>

====Thailand====
There has been a proposal to develop Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) around [[MRT (Bangkok)|mass transit stations]] in Bangkok, as well as around high-speed rail stations in cities such as Ayutthaya, Khon Kaen, [[Makkasan station|Makkasan]], Pattaya, and Si Racha. In addition, there have been proposals for TOD around main regional railway stations. The TOD proposal aims to create walkable, mixed-use communities centered around transit stations, taking advantage of their convenient transportation access. This development is expected to bring a range of benefits, including increased economic activity, reduced traffic congestion, and improved quality of life for residents.<ref>{{Citation|title=A Study on Transit Oriented Development in Thailand Executive Summary Report Chon Buri (Pattaya) TOD Prototype|url=http://www.thailandtod.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/TOD-Pattaya.pdf|date=May 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=A Study on Transit Oriented Development in Thailand Executive Summary Report Khon Kaen TOD Prototype|url=http://www.thailandtod.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/TOD-Khon-Kaen.pdf|date=May 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=A Study on Transit Oriented Development in Thailand Executive Summary Report Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya TOD Prototype|url=http://www.thailandtod.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/TOD-Ayutthaya.pdf|date=May 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=Makkasan TOD Thailand - Aravia|date=February 8, 2021 |url=https://www.aravia.com.hk/si-racha-tod-thailand/}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=Si Racha TOD Thailand - Aravia|date=February 8, 2021 |url=https://www.aravia.com.hk/makkasan-tod-thailand/}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=High Speed Rail Project Construction In Chonburi Linked To Three Major Airports Expected To Start This October|url=https://www.itc.travel/thailand-news/view?slug=High-speed-rail-project-construction-in-Chonburi-linked-to-three-major-airports-expected-to-start-this-October|date=June 8, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|url=http://www.thailandtod.com/|title=Thailand TOD}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=ร่างแผนแม่บท TOD ประเทศไทย

{{main|Melbourne 2030}}
[[Melbourne]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]] is expected to reach a population of 5 million by 2030 with the overwhelming majority of its residents relying on private automobiles. Since the turn of the century, sporadic efforts have been made by various levels of government to implement transit-oriented development principles. However, a lack of commitment to funding public transport infrastructure, resulting to overcrowding and amending zoning laws has dramatically slowed progress toward [[Sustainability|sustainable development]] for the city.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Planning|date=2017-03-08|title=Melbourne 2030: Planning for sustainable growth|url=https://www.planning.vic.gov.au/policy-and-strategy/planning-for-melbourne/melbournes-strategic-planning-history/melbourne-2030-planning-for-sustainable-growth|access-date=2021-12-10|website=Planning|language=en}}</ref>

===Europe===
[[File:Ørestad Karen Blixen Parc.jpg|thumb|Karen Blixen Park, [[Ørestad]] (Copenhagen), Denmark]]
The term transit-oriented development, as a US-born concept, is rarely used in Europe, although many of the measures advocated in US transit-oriented development are also stressed in Europe. Many European cities have long been built around transit systems and there has thus often been little or no need to differentiate this type of development with a special term as has been the case in the US. An example of this is Copenhagen's [[Finger Plan]] from 1947, which embodied many transit-oriented development aspects and is still used as an overall planning framework today. Recently, scholars and technicians have taken interest in the concept, however.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.colloquium.fr/ei/cm.esp?id=565&pageid=_3ET0UVLVD |title=Buftod 2012 |access-date=2012-02-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120715054755/https://www.colloquium.fr/ei/cm.esp?id=565&pageid=_3ET0UVLVD |archive-date=July 15, 2012 |df=mdy-all }}</ref>
====Dublin, Ireland====

The area around [[Connolly station]], in Dublin's City Centre is a candidate for much needed mixed use development. Additionally, sketches for the area around [[Heuston railway station]] as-well as regional city stations in [[Cork Kent railway station|Cork]], [[Limerick Colbert railway station|Limerick]], [[Galway railway station|Galway]] and [[Waterford Plunkett railway station|Waterford]] have been drawn up in [[Iarnród Eireann|Iarnród Eireann's]] strategy 2027.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Iarnród Eireann Strategy 2027 |url=https://www.irishrail.ie/Admin/IrishRail/media/Content/About%20Us/IE-Strategy-2027_Final_One-Page_20210114.pdf |website=irishrail }}</ref> which also includes plans for the expansion of the [[Dublin Area Rapid Transit]] through the DART+ programme. 

'''Galway, Ireland''' 

Galway County Council have created an Urban Framework Plan for the [[Townland|townlands]] of Garraun North and South, located west of [[Oranmore]], home to [[Oranmore railway station]] and is less than 10km (6.2 miles) from [[Galway]] city centre. The plan describes Garraun as a "Flagship development for County Galway, setting new standards in sustainable contemporary living, and with excellent access to public transport."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Garraun Urban Framework Plan |url=https://www.galway.ie/en/media/Garraun%20Framework_1.pdf |website=Galway.ie }}</ref> 

The plan includes an expansion of the station's car park to two stories and green space above, which will roll down into a public park. The plan describes three-storey mixed use buildings on the main road and lots of residential space. South of the railway station, an "EcoPark" is planned. 

====Paris, France====
[[Image:La Défense vue depuis la Tour Eiffel.png|thumb|right|[[La Défense]] district, west of central Paris

]]
Whereas the city of Paris has a centuries-long history, its main frame dates to the 19th century. The [[Paris Métro|subway network]] was made to solve both linkage between the five main train stations and local transportation assets for citizens. The whole area of Paris City has metro stations no more than 500 metres apart. Recent bicycle and car rental systems ([[Velib]] and [[Autolib]]) also ease travel, in the very same way that TOD emphasizes. So do the new trams linking suburbs close to Paris proper, and tramline 3 around the edge of the city of Paris.

The [[La Défense]] area is an example of a large scale transit-oriented district.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01138076/document | title=Characterising Transit Oriented Development in the Paris metropolitan region: what type of TOD are they? | first1=Alain | last1=L’Hostis | first2=Sébastien | last2=Darchen | date=2015-04-01 | publisher=HAL Open Science}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://humantransit.org/2009/07/how-paris-is-like-los-angeles.html|title = How Paris is Like Los Angeles (Via New York)|date = July 23, 2009}}</ref>
