Transit Oriented Development (TOD) has emerged as an essential planning tool for transport planners around the world. The promising results expected from TOD can only be materialized if the frameworks for its implementation are in place. This study is an attempt to address a part of this gap by analyzing the concept of TOD in the Indian context and developing a methodology for the initial selection of sites. The selection of sites that has the potential to be developed as a TOD was conducted using the Geographical Information System (GIS) analysis for the case city of Kolkata. The analysis is based on factors like growth centers, population density, transportation network, metro rail ridership, and experts’ opinion. Two different types of sites, namely, ‘Esplanade’ and ‘Newtown/Rajarhat’ were derived from the proposed methodology. The study concludes by critiquing these sites based on spatial analysis and secondary data.
