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.

Grantee Spotlight: Design Corps and Tulane City Center
Design Corps supports the vital role that design can play in addressing critical issues and needs of communities. Through the Social Economic Environmental Design (SEED) initiative, Design Corps provides communities, institutions and design professionals with the tools and services they need to integrate community-engaged processes into design activities, leading to projects that reflect a community's values and cultural identities. Public inclusion as a "best practice" in design is increasingly recognized as a highly effective way to sustain the health and longevity of a place or a community.
