Transit Oriented Development in Washington DC
Sept 2023 - Oct 2023
An investigation into the valuation of transit-rich neighborhoods by households compared to other areas.
Transit Oriented Development has been influencing everyone in cities and regions. It encourages high density development, pedestrian-friendly urban systems, mixed-use developments. As an urban planning tool, it tries to maximize the mixed use of residential, recreational, commercial, and public space within walking distance of public transport, which can further lead to more sustainable urban growth.
In this brief analysis of TOD in Washington DC, I put together some socio-economic data to illustrate the potential influences of TOD across space and time (from 2009 to 2019). Those criteria include Median Household Income, Median Rent, Educational Level, and Crime Rates. By comparing the changes in each category across spatial and temporal axes, I want to address more conservation regarding TOD in DC in the future.
