Transit-oriented development (TOD) combines transit infrastructure with urban land utilization in ways that optimize the long-term benefits of urban mass transit (UMT). TOD has been successfully implemented in the USA, Europe, Singapore, Hong Kong and many other places; however, its practice in China is so uncommon that few people understand it well. Although it is worthwhile to study the foreign TOD models, Chinese cities cannot simply copy these examples because of how its politics, economic conditions, and regional cultures differ from the countries where TOD has previously been used. Chinese cities should analyze the successful TOD cases to determine how the various aspects of TOD apply to conditions existing in China and ultimately develop TOD designs and procedures appropriate for China.
