nt in the surrounding areas will increase commuters in public transport. Urban sprawl is always associated with large carbon footprint, planning tools, such as rezoning and provision of efficient MRTS to encourage TOD in the surrounding areas can discourage an urban sprawl-like development. TOD has the capacity and capability to herald urban development/redevelopment and regeneration of the urban areas. Central city areas which are congested and lack in community/ open spaces are most suitable areas for TOD-based planning and redevelopment. Participation of local residents and stakeholders is crucial for the success of the project and to make TOD based planning sustainable and affordable.
