Abstract

The paper introduces a concept of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) and its contribution to sustainable urban planning that was developed successfully in late 1990s. Through reviewing international experiences, the research will highlight the achievements of applying TOD concept in city development at different levels and find-out the possibility to integrate that concept into Hanoi’s master plan. It is very important to focus on urban structure when applying TOD concept at different spatial levels such as TOD at the regional, TOD along corridor of development, TOD at and around UMRT stations. The proposed three types of integration as spatial planning, strategic action plans and institutional mechanisms are the main factors that will ensure the success of applying TOD concept to Hanoi’s master plan for green growth and sustainability.

Keywords: TOD; modern urban planning; public transportation; sustainability; green growth; Hanoi city.
