TOD, toward a value assessment tool: a multi-scale Value Gradient Map

Abstract

<p>Transit-Oriented Development is one of the most successful attempts made worldwide to achieve sustainable urban development through the promotion of high-density public transport nodes. Meta reviews of the extensive literature indicate a paucity of studies on the interrelationship of values of urban design, place-making, community planning and a planning theory of TOD. The recent Wider Economic Impact (WEI) of transport framework provides a plausible grounding for an urban design and planning theory of TOD that enables the integration of the concept of “urban design value” developed in consultancy, policy-making and education. This paper aims to propose a visual tool that captures spatial interactions and visualizes the multi-scale value impact of TOD to be taken discursively into account in urban planning, urban design and community planning practice<br></p>

以公共交通为导向的开发理念（TOD）是全球范围内通过建立公共交通实现可持续城市发展最为成功的尝试之一。基于大量文献分析，我们发现针对城市设计价值、场所营造、社区规划和 TOD 规划理论之间相互关系的研究还很少。近年来，关于交通的广泛经济效应（WEI）框架为 TOD 城市设计和规划理论提供了合理基础，该理论整合了咨询、政策和教育中发展的“城市设计价值”概念。为了捕获空间的相互作用，我们提出了一种可视化工具，用以实现 TOD 多尺度价值影响的可视化，使其在城市规划、城市设计和社区规划实践中得到应用。
