DEVELOPMENT ORIENTED TRANSIT IN INDIAN CITIES
ABSTRACT: Land-use development and Transportation both are inter linked with each other and make different
types of urban forms. Globally, there are many cities whose forms were shaped by transportation and land use.
However, there is neither a systematic approach nor empirical method to understand which kinds of transportation
factor should connect land use and which kinds of land-use factor should connect transportation. There is a school
of thought either development should be oriented to transit or transit should orient to development. Therefore,
this paper aims at reviewing whether development should come first or Transit. Finally, this paper will focus on
Development Oriented Transit.

Introduction
Land use and Transportation both are connected with
each other. Transport is the most essential component for
shaping development of a city. Land use is one of the prime
determinants of movement and activity which means land use
determines the demand for transport. Land use may change
because of increase or decrease in accessibility. Integration
of land-use and transit is very essential. National Urban
Transport Policy (NUTP) also emphasizes on integrated land
use and transport planning.
Types of development with relation to transit
The Integration of land-use and transit may carry out in many
ways such as Transit Adjacent Development (TAD), Transit
Joint Development (TJD), Transit Supportive Development
(TSD) or Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and
Development Oriented Transit (DOT).

In 19th Century there were concepts like Transit Adjacent
Development (TAD), a development which is physically near
transit but fails to capitalize upon this proximity to promote
transit riding and other economic benefits, which lacks in
functional connectivity to transit/ with transit, in Integration
of Land use with Transit, in means of station access, and in
economic and fiscal benefits.Fremont is a city in California
used to be a good example of Transit Adjacent development.
As time passes Transit Adjacent Development gradually
changed into Transit Joint Development (TJD) is that
development which is Joint with transit neither before nor
after transit. Tokyo is one of the best examples for Transit
Joint Development which did not restrict itself to Transit
Joint Development, but expanded as a Transit Oriented
Development (TOD) as well. Transit Joint Development (TJD)
also states that a type of development which occurs because
of any formal agreement or arrangement between a public
transit agency and a private individual or organization. Hong-
Kong is one of the good examples of this type of development.
