The aim of this paper is know aboy Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) presents unique opportunities for Indian cities to meet the challenges of rapid motorization, rising inequity, deteriorating quality of the urban realm and climate change. This paper explores the case of TODs – planned or underway – in cities and examines if the international experiences of TOD have enriched our understanding of TOD. It criticises these attempts and give suggestions for Indian cities to spur growth that is more oriented on transit rather than simply being nearby.
