Find your metro journey

What is TOD?

Understand transit-oriented development: homes, jobs, shops and public space connected around metro stations, with 3D models and sourced real-world examples.

What you can explore

A city around the station

In the morning, a resident leaves their apartment, visits a shop in the podium and takes the metro. Someone else arrives at an office tower or meets a friend in the square. The station connects these activities in one urban ecosystem.

A city on many levels

Towers and pedestrian bridges sit above a public square. Below, a shopping street connects both sides of the district before a separate route enters the ticket gates and platforms. The station is part of the urban network.

Living around metro

A station district can support a full day: commuting, lunch, shopping, collecting children and returning home. Services occupy podiums below apartments; the square provides somewhere to pause between journeys.

An economic ecosystem

People connect metro with shops, offices and housing. Businesses gain customers and access to workers; the district generates travel needs. These relationships continue throughout the life of the station area.

Space for everyone

A future metro district needs places to live, pass through and stay. Squares, public corridors and step-free connections serve people who may neither board a train nor buy anything.
