Localization of TOD Strategies and Practice in China:The Perspective of Policy Tools
Amidst urban transportation policy shifts from prioritizing transit to focusing on building transit metropolises and strengthening China's position as a nation with advanced transportation networks,transit-oriented development(TOD)emerges as a pivotal strategy for local governments to shape high-quality urbanization in the con-text of limited constructive-land supply and aggravating traffic congestion.Currently,most local governments in China have introduced a plethora of locally rooted TOD policies and practices.Given the necessity for multi-level planning and multi-departmental coordination in effectively achieving TOD goals,understanding the policy tools,their evolution,and implementation mechanism of localized TOD strate-gies is imperative.Based on 135 TOD policies from 35 municipalities,utilizing Nvivo-based textual analysis and case studies,the paper delves into four important aspects of TOD-planning coordination,transfer of development rights,planning and design standards,and investment and financing models.The study shows that China's TOD policy tools predominantly focus on the environmental and supply aspects,ac-counting for 68.09％and 27.99％respectively in the sample,while tools addressing the demand side are least represented,accounting for only 3.92％.Additionally,China's localized TOD approaches are government-led and market-oriented,with local governments establishing a mature policy framework and coordination mechanism.In-novations are mainly made in the financing structure,practice of transfer of develop-ment of rights,and control indicators and their adjustment.In the future,local gov-ernments should strengthen their strength in TOD policy making and implementation and promote diversification of financing,high-efficiency coordination,and density management to achieve comprehensive social benefits of TOD strategies.
