Abstract
Rapid urbanization in India, particularly across emerging Tier-2 cities, has intensified transportation and infrastructure pressures. Increasing population density and the growing number of private vehicles have contributed to challenges such as road congestion, environmental degradation, poor public transport integration, and unplanned land consumption. In response to these concerns, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is being recognized as an effective urban planning strategy that supports sustainable and integrated city growth through development concentrated around mass transit corridors.
This study explores the significance of Transit-Oriented Development in enhancing urban mobility in Tier-2 Indian cities. It analyses the impact of TOD concepts including compact urban form, mixed-use land patterns, pedestrian-friendly environments, and improved accessibility to public transportation systems. The study focuses on how these measures can minimize reliance on personal vehicles while strengthening the efficiency and sustainability of urban transport networks. The research methodology is based on secondary sources such as planning policies, government publications, academic studies, metro rail documentation, and urban development reports.
The analysis reveals that TOD has considerable potential to increase public transport usage, promote non-motorized transportation such as walking and cycling, decrease traffic-related problems, and encourage environmentally responsible urban expansion. However, several barriers continue to hinder its effective implementation, including limited inter-agency coordination, insufficient pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, financial constraints, and challenges related to land administration and regulation. The paper concludes that coordinated integration between transportation systems and land use planning is necessary for the successful adoption of Transit-Oriented Development in Indian cities.
