Fostering Equitable and Sustainable Transit-Oriented Development

Dense housing and commercial buildings located within proximity to public transportation are the main ingredients for a transit-oriented development (TOD). Yet, it is often difficult for cities to bring TOD to scale, particularly in a manner that improves all residents' ability to travel to places of work and education, access services in the community, and sustain wealth. The Center for Transit-Oriented Development, Living Cities, and the Boston College Institute for Responsible Investment assembled a group of representatives from government, nonprofits, financial institutions, and philanthropy to explore opportunities and identify strategies for implementing equitable, sustainable TOD across the country. Read the briefing papers for the convening.
