Editing Transit-oriented development (section)

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====

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>

In the southern part of the [[Randstad]] a neighborhood according to the principles of TOD will be built.{{Citation needed| date=July 2024}}
