The New Transit Town: Best Practices in Transit-Oriented Development

The New Transit Town: Best Practices in Transit-Oriented Development. (2004).
Edited by Hank Dittmar and Gloria Ohland, Island Press

In this book, the demographic trends that favor an increasing demand for TOD are outlined, as are the key issues of design, supportive public policy, and finance that often determine TOD’s fate. The later chapters provide critical case studies that point out successes and failures of the “first generation” of TOD while suggesting the lessons that can be taken forward.
