PREFACE

公共交通导向型开发(TOD)的理念最早是由新城市主义倡导者之一的彼得·卡尔索普(Peter Calthorpe)于1992年提出,其初衷是对以汽车出行为主导的美国城市的郊区蔓延、城市空间扩张现象的深刻反思——希望通过公共交通导向的土地使用开发策略,提升土地利用密度、效率及城市中心区活力,并改善环境和能源相关问题。

The concept of Transit-Oriented Development(TOD)was first proposed by Peter Calthorpe,one of the advocates of New Urbanism,in 1992.It was originally designed to inspire profound reflections on the cities of the United States that were dominated by automobile transportation and on its urban sprawl that was dominated by suburban expansion-the concept aimed to enhance land use density and efficiency and the vitality of the urban center and to improve issues related to environment and energy through public transit-oriented land use development.Since TOD was proposed,it has been widely used in the United States,and has had an obvious effect on East Asian cities with dense populations,limited development land,and high urban density.
