As the line between rural and urban space have blurred over time, the clarity of this boundary is needed once again. Public transportation, and specifically rail, is one tool that can bring a sense of urbanity back to the city, developing the city about transit stations and the scale of the pedestrian, rather than the nebulous streetscapes and limitless suburbs constructed for the automobile. Following a period of vast over construction in America, people are beginning to reconsider the suburban life and look again at the numerous benefits of city living. Based upon the guidelines of New Urbanism town planning, a new form of urban design has recently emerged. The Transit-Oriented Design (TOD) was founded on the concept that public transit and the pedestrian are the primary design concern within a community. The needs of the automobile should not detract from the environment but rather become integrated within a people-oriented community. Traditionally, TODs have been implemented in suburban locations, in newly planned towns or in generally more remote settings. They offer a newer, and more detached version of what our cities used to offer. It is becoming apparent that TODs must be utilized in order to restore a needed sense of urban living: a pedestrian scaled, dense, urban context. If people have begun to search for a denser urban environment, the downtowns of American cities must act as the model for newer suburban reinterpretation. Cincinnati is among those cities that require drastic downtown re-urbanization. The city has become riddled with expansive parking lots, leaving gaping wounds in the center of the city. One of the largest wounds within the city center is Broadway Commons. Now mostly parking lots, it serves only the automobile, completely disregarding the pedestrian and the urban scale of downtown. The only memory that remains of public transportation and the pedestrian is the Greyhound station, currently in a state of disrepair, with no connection to the surrounding urban fabric and its community. This thesis aims to integrate a redesigned Greyhound station within a revitalized urban landscape, comprised of community and transit. As Cincinnati begins to move toward a more efficient and expansive transit system, a TOD would be an appropriate strategy to apply to a new Broadway Commons district. This thesis aims to develop a strategy to develop a neighborhood center, with transit as the core, to create a better sense of community, place and urbanism for the city of Cincinnati.

Transit Oriented Development: Making it Happen brings together the different stakeholders and disciplines that are involved in the conception and implementation of TOD to provide a comprehensive overview of the realization of this concept in Australia, North America, Asia and Europe. The book identifies the challenges facing TOD and through a series of key international case studies demonstrates ways to overcome and avoid them. The insights gleaned from these encompass policy and regulation, urban design solutions, issues for local governance, the need to work with community and the commercial realities of TOD.

This thesis looks at the challenges and opportunities associated with designing pedestrian routes and public spaces near transit for safe and enjoyable use at nighttime. Since most commuters in northern latitudes spend several months a year commuting in the dark, landscapes that help them access transit more easily in evening hours should increase willingness to use public transit. In particular, illuminated art or light art integrated into the urban landscape can be used for wayfinding, placemaking, visibility, and increasing natural surveillance. Research is conducted into the history of public space at night, the psychology and physiology of experiencing public nighttime spaces, and the current state of lighting standards and technology, with an emphasis on the dichotomy of night as a time for both festivity and caution. A station area is proposed for a subdistrict in Ballard, Seattle that currently has a number of nighttime workers and anticipates future transit development. The subdistrict site is analyzed for its current lighting situation and circulation. Light, art installations, and other suggested treatments are grouped by function and applied to the site in conceptual design sketches. Finally, recommendations and design suggestions are given according to street and lighting typology for nighttime-oriented interventions to improve the pedestrian experience in the proposed station area.

Transit-oriented development (TOD) seeks to maximize access to mass transit and nonmotorized transportation with centrally located rail or bus stations surrounded by relatively high-density commercial and residential development. New Urbanists and smart growth proponents have embraced the concept and interest in TOD is growing, both in the United States and around the world. New Transit Town brings together leading experts in planning, transportation, and sustainable design—including Scott Bernstein, Peter Calthorpe, Jim Daisa, Sharon Feigon, Ellen Greenberg, David Hoyt, Dennis Leach, and Shelley Poticha—to examine the first generation of TOD projects and derive lessons for the next generation. It offers topic chapters that provide detailed discussion of key issues along with case studies that present an in-depth look at specific projects. Topics examined include: the history of projects and the appeal of this form of development a taxonomy of TOD projects appropriate for different contexts and scales the planning, policy and regulatory framework of "successful" projects obstacles to financing and strategies for overcoming those obstacles issues surrounding traffic and parking the roles of all the actors involved and the resources available to them performance measures that can be used to evaluate outcomes Case Studies include Arlington, Virginia (Roslyn-Ballston corridor); Dallas (Mockingbird Station and Addison Circle); historic transit-oriented neighborhoods in Chicago; Atlanta (Lindbergh Center and BellSouth); San Jose (Ohlone-Chynoweth); and San Diego (Barrio Logan). New Transit Town explores the key challenges to transit-oriented development, examines the lessons learned from the first generation of projects, and uses a systematic examination and analysis of a broad spectrum of projects to set standards for the next generation. It is a vital new source of information for anyone interested in urban and regional planning and development, including planners, developers, community groups, transit agency staff, and finance professionals.

This thesis investigates the influence of a new transit system on mature urban environments. The confluence of evolving socio-economic trends, cultural travel behaviors, and existing urban contexts, is changing how cities develop. The added value of convenient transit access provides unique urban design opportunities. Transit-oriented development (TOD) addresses these opportunities through attention to the pedestrian environment, coordinated land uses, and an emphasis on the holistic urban experience. The new Hudson-Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) provides a much needed North-South transit line along the New Jersey's congested Hudson River waterfront. Since NJ Transit announced their commitment to increase regional mobility in the mid-1990s, parcels adjacent to the HBLR stations have experienced unprecedented growth The various urban design and planning strategies address many contemporary issues, such as the role of the automobile in the city, the impact of increased densities, and the marketable pedestrian networks. By looking at the different urban development experiences of three different cities along the light rail, the thesis will illustrate transit-oriented opportunities for urban design and development.
