Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Design Skill

This skill provides a complete framework for designing transit-oriented developments based on the ITDP TOD Standard v3.0, global best practices from cities like Tokyo, Hong Kong, Copenhagen, Curitiba, and Singapore, and density-distance gradient principles derived from decades of empirical research. It covers the full workflow from transit mode classification through station area planning, density calibration, use mix programming, parking management, and first-last mile connectivity design.
