Transit-Oriented Development Impact Analysis
Vector-based quantitative analysis of BART's effect on the San Francisco Bay Area, 2009-2017
San Francisco and the greater Bay Area evolved into a tech-capital cosmopolitan region that has struggled to manage affordability, sustainability, and traffic congestion. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) has been a nationwide urban planning practice aimed at alleviating these issues, with effects that vary widely by metro area. This vector-based quantitative analysis assesses the impact of Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and the development patterns surrounding its stations from 2009 to 2017.
