Popis: Transit-oriented development (TOD) is regarded as mixed land uses within the half-mile radius around the transit stations with high-density development, pedestrian-friendly environment and well-connected road network with frequent public transportation system. TOD typology is a way grouping different TODs having a common set of features. The TOD typology will help local practitioners, decision-makers, and officials understand the assets and vulnerabilities, and how each transit station area fits within the regional context. No one-size-fits-all, like different implementation strategies, are needed for different place types. TOD typology offers a strategic planning of transportation combination with land use and enables comparisons and performance assessments within the station classes. The study is based on the wide parameters namely built environmental, network parameters, and different transport centers that help in understanding the TOD area characteristics to the greater extent. The two-step clustering technique is adapted to develop typology of 20 TODs of Hi-tech city and its surrounding area into six clusters. The study will try to make an attempt of recommendations and time-bound implementation strategies for the TOD clusters.
