ED127 Transit-Oriented DevelopmentTransit-oriented development is an increasingly popular approach to sustainable community development through the creation of compact, walkable communities that provide a mix of affordable housing and retail centered around a transit station. A 2005 national TOD market study by the Center for Transit-Oriented Development found the demand for compact housing near transit is likely to more than double by 2025 as a result of changing demographics and housing preferences. This course uses case studies and site visits with practitioners and leaders involved in local community-based TOD projects to help participants understand the value of transit-related development, identify challenges and develop the skills to plan a TOD project, including determining feasibility and sources of financing.Course length: 2 Days Tuition: $ 500 Course counts toward a professional certificate: Yes |
