Growth Management and Site-Development Strategies

Abstract

This chapter deals with urban development strategies for making cities sustainable. Section 10.1 analyzes the effect of policies toward "compact city" on urban sustainability. The analysis results suggest that introduction of good quality of transit services and congestion fees, mixed with land use mix and an appropriate level of density development, are inevitable for urban sustainability. Section 10.2 suggests the importance of site development policies harmonized with Transit Oriented Development (TOD) concept for urban sustainability. Some important factors for implementing better TOD policies in Asia are explained.
