WORKSHOP ON TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD)
July 21st and 22nd 2023
(Hotel Taj Mahal, Man Singh Road, New Delhi)
The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) – a joint venture company of Government of India and States of Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, is mandated for implementing the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) across the National Capital Region (NCR) of India. The construction of first of the RRTS Corridors, i.e., Delhi – Ghaziabad – Meerut Corridor is in full swing with the priority section expected to be commissioned soon. This project with primary objective of decongesting the National Capital Region and thereby reducing vehicular congestion and air pollution, is also a reflection of the Government of India’s focus on public transport as an enabler of sustainable urban and regional transformation.
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is a globally recognized paradigm to ensure sustainable urban development along transit corridors such as Metros and RRTS. Most States in India with upcoming or operational metro networks have come out with their respective TOD Policies, however, efforts to operationalize the policies are still at a nascent stage.
NCRTC, at the inception, recognised the critical role of TOD for major transit infrastructure projects like RRTS. Coordinated efforts are underway with urban planning and development agencies of the participating States to evolve and establish an enabling framework for operationalizing TOD along transit corridors.
In light of this, NCRTC is organizing a Workshop on Transit Oriented Development (TOD) on 21st and 22nd of July 2023. This workshop, led by NCRTC and the World Bank & Asian Development Bank as partners will focus on the successful TOD case studies from diverse global geographies as well as Panel Discussions deliberating on the way forward for TOD in India. The participants would include officials from State Governments, Development Authorities, Smart Cities, Transit Agencies, Multilateral Funding Institutions and research organizations. TOD practitioners from around the world are expected to share their knowledge regarding successful implementation of TOD projects in Hong Kong, Japan, Netherlands, Singapore, U.K., U.S., etc.
