Abstract
New urbanism aims to reform the constructed cities as it seeks to create new and complete cities. The main idea of transit oriented development (TOD) is manly based on the public railroad transportation as the quickest and most effective tool in competition with automobiles (car) in order to cause an effective change in the transportation style and decrease the dependence on cars and horizontal growth of the city. In the current study, the experiences of the development corridors are analyzed after investigating the transit oriented development using applied descriptive method and the planning, capitalization and implementation methods are examined based on the corridor development theory. Types of land use suitable for development including residential, commercial, educational, leisure time and so are evaluated in terms of establishment and location. Next, the feasibility of implementation of this method in new spaces created by subway lines in the Mashhad city is studied. Investigation of one of the urban train lines shows that a station named Koohestan Park (mountain-park) located in the Vakil Abad Boulevard has appropriate potentials and advantages for corridor development and urban investments and can contain diverse land uses for orientation toward sustainable objectives. Finally, land use and market activity in the area around this station are investigated using the SWOT model and the necessity of investment and creation of corridor development unit is evaluated.
Highlights
By the end of World War II, travel in the large cities was on foot or through transportation
Broad efforts have been done since 1970s for transmission from urban development patterns based on the car city which relied on the low density and suburb development of the separated land uses
Patterns based on the public transit and the pattern of corridor development was introduced to conduct the urban development around the public transportation
Summary
By the end of World War II, travel in the large cities was on foot or through transportation. Being close to the public stations was one of the important features of the real estate which was considered as the minimum walking distance. Stronger land uses such as stores, schools, employment centers, tend to settle in the vicinity of transit stations. The relation between the transportation and land use weakened, since many people start using cars and the effect of walking distance to the station declined (Lieberman, 1999). Hierarchical combination of transit systems including walking and riding and density, concentration and diversity of land uses around the major transportation lines caused the corridor development to be considered more than ever (Rahnama, 2013). TOD is established based on the public railroad as the quickest and most effective tool in competition with automobile to cause an effective change in the transportation style and to decrease the mas.ccsenet.org
