Successful transit-oriented development (TOD) needs to be place-specific. But what about planning for TOD at the corridor scale? Let’s find out in two very different contexts. Chicago’s Red Line Extension is bringing four new stations to the city’s south side, with goals of economic development, community revitalization and to reverse decades of disinvestment in local business districts. Miami-Dade County is advancing rapid transit projects across six corridors, with simultaneous planning for TOD in urban and suburban contexts. What does it take to build TOD responsive to the unique assets of each station and the needs of its surrounding community while also supporting an overall vision for the corridor? What are the upsides of a corridor approach to TOD?
