TRANSIT PLAZA Focus on providing an attractive pedestrian environment that is continuous, O2 forms a network and offers an array of experiences and amenities. WALKABILITY Provide visual interest at the pedestrian scale through thoughtful landscaping O3 and building design, which will encourage people to use the public realm and PUBLIC REALM help contribute to an active street life. Create open areas such as amenity spaces, green spaces, playgrounds, parks O4 and natural areas, plazas, civic squares, etc. within a five-minute walking URBAN PARKS & OPEN radius of residents. SPACES PD-R01 TOD PRINCIPLES + DESIGN GUIDE 71 K P DEVELOPMENT (BUILT ENVIRONMENT) COMPONENTS Optimize employment and residential densities along a transit corridor D1 or station area, based on the carrying capacities of transit and NMT COMPACT infrastructure, to promote walking and transit use. DEVELOPMENT Promote more efficient land use patterns by providing residents with access D2 to retail, commercial and civic services, employment and recreational facilities without needing to travel by automobile. MIX OF USES Provide a diversity of housing choices, which includes a mixture of types, styles, price ranges and tenure, within a 10-minute walking distance from a D3 transit station, to foster the creation of equitable TODs.

S2 INCLUSIVENESS Reference: Towards an Inclusive and Low Carbon Transit Oriented development in Indian Cities, Shakti Foundation (http://shaktifoundation.in/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/TOD-India.pdf) Adopt development based land value capture as a financial mechanism for upgrading infrastructure LAND VALUE along TOD corridors and station areas.

S4 ACCESSIBILITY Reference: Environment for Disabled and Elderley Persons, CPWD (1998) (http://cpwd.gov.in/ Publication/aged&disabled.PDF) Prioritize and implement innovative green building practices in all aspects of providing or upgrading SUSTAINABLE infrastructure including, energy, water, landscape and waste management. S5 INFRASTRUCTURE Reference: LEED for Neighbourhood Development (https://www.nrdc.org/cities/smartgrowth/files/ citizens_guide_LEED-ND.pdf) Expand accessibility in TOD areas by promoting bicycles as an alternate or preferred sustainable and healthy mode of choice. BICYCLE FRIENDLY S6 Reference: National Guidance Document on Public Bicycle Sharing, MoHUA (http://mohua.gov.in/ cms/sustain-sutp-PBS.php) Adopt smart technologies within TOD projects such as fare integration, smart parking, real-time TECHNOLOGY information, to provide public transit service an edge over automobiles.
