Scenarios about 'transit-oriented development'
Transit-oriented development refers to an urban planning approach that creates walkable, mixed-use communities centered around high-quality public transportation systems. This design philosophy emerged as a response to post-WWII suburban sprawl, aiming to reduce car dependency while increasing accessibility, sustainability, and economic vitality. In alternate history scenarios, different implementation of transit-oriented principles could dramatically alter urban landscapes, population distribution patterns, and the technological development of transportation systems.
