dc.description.abstractUrbanization is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, making sustainable and efficient urban planning critical. Planning for Transit-Oriented Development in Emerging Cities offers a comprehensive guide to transforming rapidly growing urban areas into vibrant, transit-oriented communities. The book emphasizes the importance of integrating land use regulations with transport planning. By aligning these two elements, cities can promote higher densities, mixed land uses, and pedestrian friendly environments, which are essential for effective public transport systems. An innovative sandbox model is introduced to simulate the impact of various land use regulations on transit ridership. This model provides valuable insights into how changes in regulations, such as floor area ratios and parking requirements, can significantly influence public transport use and walkability. Highlighting the importance of designing for gender differences in mobility and accessibility, the book advocates for land use regulations that enhance safety and accessibility for all, particularly women, by promoting “eyes on the street and ensuring well designed public spaces. Practical recommendations on improving Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) practices include adopting market-friendly zoning, allowing mixed land uses, allowing higher densities, promoting Multi-Modal Streets with wide sidewalks and proper traffic management, and ensuring adequate public space to support a walkable and transit-oriented urban environment. This book is an essential resource for urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in creating sustainable, livable cities. By following the principles and recommendations outlined in this work, emerging cities can embark on a path toward a more connected, efficient, and inclusive urban future.en
