Transit-oriented development (TOD) is now a mature concept in city building, having been applied in many cities around the world for well over two decades. In this discussion, Helene Chartier, director of urban planning and design at C40, Eleanor Esser Gorski, CEO and president of the Chicago Architecture Centre, former A/ commissioner of the City of Chicago, and Sander Mozo, planner at the City of Vancouver, reflect on the successes and shortcomings of the concept over the past decades. They discuss how the 15-minute city concept can help shape TOD for the better, areas where the two concepts may be at odds, and share their experiences in developing new models for TOD with a greater emphasis on connections to existing neighborhoods and community building.
