Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is a foundational planning concept that integrates the potential of coordinating land use planning, transportation system design and infrastructure investments, as an integrated process with people and public transit. This TOD Guidance Document presents a compendium of strategies and recommendations for integrated land use, transportation and infrastructure planning in shaping urban growth patterns. It also identifies a five-step planning process for local authorities, central government agencies and development professionals to follow in implementing transit oriented development projects. It is one of the first comprehensive attempts in India to provide a step-by-step guide for cities to plan and implement successful TODs.
