2. Why TOD?
• In Indian cities, Development Authorities and Municipal bodies co-exist but cater to
different spectrum of development needs.
• Yet, sadly they live in separate verticals.
• The Transport Authorities are other cogs in the city wheel, which tread on
separate journeys and twain don’t meet.
• “Transit Oriented Development” is a development instrument to bring
all players on one drawing board.
• Rules of the game are simple i.e. have well connected, accessible,
high-density, anti-sprawl mixed land use development which is affordable & inclusive.
• Working relationship is to collaborate & integrate under “12 Golden Principals”.
