5 Lessons for Auckland
Essential Elements for TOD
Edmonton’s Lessons
Station areas with large sites Areas with small lots and
that have older building stock areas that are vehicle-
or government-owned land oriented (e.g., large
provide better opportunities unadaptable blocks, big box
for more rapid transformation retail, newer buildings not
into TOD and public transport supportive of public transport)
supportive areas. are difficult areas for TOD.
Edmonton’s Lessons
3 Establish firm
principles but be
Target public sector planning
efforts where conditions are
not ripe for the private sector
open to different to lead (i.e. areas with
fragmented ownership or the
methods of need for significant public
achieving them infrastructure investments).
