“An Introduction to Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)”

The AIA East Bay Regional and Urban Design Forum (RUDF) is undertaking a series of events over the next three months focused an educating the AIAEB membership about TOD – what it means for the East Bay and the opportunities that architects have in creating successful TOD.

To kick-off the series of events, the RUDF has invited Dena Belzer, Principal of Strategic Economics and partner in the Center for Transit Oriented Development (CTOD) a national organization dedicated to providing best practices, research, and tools to support market-based TOD. Ms. Belzer will discuss what TOD is, the key elements that make for successful TOD, what architects can do to create great TOD, and give highlights of the range of TOD happening in the East Bay. Come and help the RUDF start this important discussion about reshaping neighborhoods around transit.

Hold a place on your calendar for the RUDF’s second event a Saturday tour of TOD in the East Bay on May 13th.
