Best practices of Land use transport integration in India Ahmedabad and Mumbai

An incremental and progressive approach to Bus based TOD

Ahmedabad exmplifies an incremental approach to the implemention of TOD. After struggling with declining ridership on public transit, Ahmedabad introduced a modern Bus Rapid Transit System called ‘Janmarg’. The operational success of the Janmarg has catalyzed the use of policy directives that leverage the BRT to implement TOD. This city’s aim is to curb sprawl by promoting a compact city structure with higher densities in zones with good access to public transit. The city’s development plan emphasizes mixed land-use, high densities, public transportation, a grid based pedestrian circulation network and market driven approach to land utilization for developing its the city’s central business district (CBD).
