Abstract

The relevance of this research is derived from the current ambition of multiple cities around the world to change towards a much more sustainable future. Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is a concept that responds to this ambition by focusing on efficient transportation modes other than the automobile by integrating transit and urban development. In the Netherlands, many substantive issues are taken into account when it comes to stimulating the transition from a car-oriented development path towards a more TOD driven path. However, formal and informal barriers still hamper the implementation of such concepts due to multiple policy differences between transit and urban development. The main problem that is addressed in this report is the policy difficulty that appears when realising TOD projects in practice.
