Metropolitan cities of India are recently promoting transit-oriented development (TOD), as a sustainable transport approach for improving urban mobility in the nation. However, TOD policies in Indian cities require a thorough diagnosis of planning parameters based on existing urban structure elements. Existing policies need to enhance and introduce priority planning strategies that adhere to long-term visions of Indian cities. The present chapter pays attention to macro-/micro planning parameters, namely size of influence zone, typology, TOD measurement tool, floor-area-ratio (FAR), building use compositions, and priority strategies that have a substantial effect on planning processes. This chapter specifies quantitative levels of urban structure to assist as a real-world guidebook. It provides a measurement tool to understand the nature of TOD-ness and to establish a standard to plan and implement TOD at neighborhood levels. Such a TOD measurement tool can help planners, policymakers, and government authorities, while investing funds on infrastructure with prior knowledge on existing levels of TOD at neighborhood level. Because without measuring the current situation of TODs, faulty decisions in investments will continue to be repeated.
