To design a transit-oriented development that complies with ITDP standards, use a framework that evaluates your project against the 8 principles of the ITDP TOD Standard v3.0, optimizing density, walkability, and transit accessibility to prevent sprawl.

The density-distance gradient in urban master planning is a principle that calculates optimal FAR and height distributions to concentrate building intensity directly at transit nodes, ensuring land value is maximized and sprawl is prevented.

Calculate parking maximums and FAR for a new metro station area by applying a TOD design specification framework that uses density-distance gradients and ITDP scoring to determine the appropriate mix of residential and commercial space.

Yes, you can evaluate pedestrian network safety for an 800m transit catchment area by applying the ITDP TOD Standard rubric, which benchmarks multi-modal integration strategies and walkability connectivity against international safety requirements.

The best way to match a project site to a specific transit mode and density profile is to use a TOD Typology Selector based on global best practices, calibrating land use precisely for urban densification and station area design projects.
