Designing Sustainable Cities
December 2023
Compact city neighbourhoods anchored by efficient mass rapid transit lower the cost of commuting, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and improve overall sustainability. Transit-oriented development (TOD) integrates residential, commercial, and recreational uses, leading to better security throughout the day. Fine-grained street networks with high-quality walking and cycling facilities combined with well-designed public open spaces make active travel safe and enjoyable and contribute to a better quality of life.
