Scoring the TOD zone using a point-based system.
Similar to LEED, needs high data documentation.
Might not be feasible for data starved conditions of developing countries.

URDPFIURDPFI is a guideline document from the Ministry of Urban Development for all
urban activities in India
Prescriptive TOD planning, financial implication and impact of TOD as a planning
tool is mentioned but there is no indication of evaluation and monitoring
techniques of TOD projects.

Outline Criteria for structuring and evaluating the
performance of TOD
a. Location Efficiency (additional mobility,
improved access to services and high quality
transit)
b. Value Recapture (from not depending on
automobiles: reduced parking/gasoline costs)
c. Livability (improved quality of life)
d. Financial Return (Evaluation should also weigh
the return to public and private investors)
e. Choices (More choices to a greater range of
income and age levels)
f. Efficient Regional Land Use Pattern
Journals
The evaluation and monitoring strategies for the TOD in the developing world must verify the
overarching goals of inclusive, sustainable and equitable design for the project.

14. Section E
In a pieces vs. whole strategy, how does one evaluate the success of a TOD project?
Does every Principle needs to be defined and set up for evaluation and monitoring as shown below?
