Transit Oriented Development For Developing City - A Case of Pune
INTRODUCTION :-
Urbanization has been increased in last few decades. Cities are growing very fast, in terms of
population as well as size, spreading beyond municipal areas . More and more towns and
villages are now getting converted into cities. More than half of World population lives in
city areas. As rapid growth of population has put pressure on city structural system. Rapid
growth has affected many problems in city area for e.g. traffic jams, load on infrastructure,
pollution, lack of spaces etc. As it also affected the city life, so to improve city life one of the
solution is transit oriented development (TOD).
TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT defined as per various authors,
1. Calthorpe (1993)- Mixed-use community within an average 2,000-foot walking distance of
a transit stop and a core commercial area that mixes residential, retail, office, open space, and
public uses in a walkable environment, making it convenient for residents and employees to
travel by transit, bicycle, foot or car.
2.Cervero et al. (2004) -TODs a tool for promoting smart growth, leveraging economic
development, and catering for shifting housing market demands and lifestyle preferences.
3.Still (2002) A mixed-use community that encourages people to live near transit services and
to decrease their dependence on driving
4.Maryland Department of Transportation -A place of relatively higher density that includes
a mixture of residential, employment, shopping and civic uses and types located within an
easy walk of a bus or rail transit center.
5.Bernick and Cervero (1997)- A compact, mixed-use community, centred on a transit station
that, by design, invites residents, workers, and shoppers to drive their cars less and ride mass
transit more.
TOD zone: - It is the area a {. e*g/ 500 M. around the proposed /Metro station boundary as
will be delineated by Pune Municipal Corporation with the approval of the State Government.
This distance of 500 M. may be relaxed up to 30 % by the Municipal Commissioner where
any reservation, / amenity space within such distance is utilized for the purpose of
transportation as prescribed in regulation no.2l(5) {Definition as per 2019.03.08_tod_37_(1 AA)}
In urban planning, TOD is a type of urban development idea that increases the
amount of residential, business and commercial spaces within walking distance of public
transport. Due to rapid urbanization and the growth in population, various modes of urban
planning are being implemented. These measures are taken to reduce the load on urban
infrastructure and transportation.
What does TOD aim?
• The primary aim of TOD is to make cities more live able by connecting place of work to
place of residence of inhabitants, by planning accessible, dense and diverse urban places
around transit, supported by walkable and cycle friendly neighbourhoods and well-designed
public realm. This will go a long way in encouraging, inducing and enhancing an increase in
public transit ridership. It makes it possible to live a stress-free life without complete
dependence on car for fulfilling mobility, basic services and everyday needs. This would in
turn improve livability and quality of life.
