Description: Transit-Oriented Development: Reshaping the Great American City

Please join Sustainable Green Country for a free screening of this informative documentary that explores the positive aspects of successful transit-oriented development in cities throughout the United States.

Good design is good business, creating special places and yielding a higher return on investment than less thoughtful approaches. This film encourages viewers to expect and insist upon excellence in the environments around future transit stops. It addresses access to the transportation system, connections, context, density and growth, uses and activities, landscape, and beauty. Through case studies, it identifies challenges and opportunities and makes recommendations useful in the discussion of site-specific projects.

Transit-oriented development (TOD) can enrich active lifestyles, serve the elderly and disabled, increase property values, and bring vibrancy to communities. It improves transportation choices, and opens new options for where to locate commerce and housing. By encouraging less dependence on private automobile use, TOD can help improve air quality and public health. It can support safe, attractive, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable communities. It is an antidote to sprawl.
