Good book for an overview of transit oriented development
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago

It is not specifically targeted at experts (it has a rather limited scientific content and it is written in very plain language) and offers a major review of many projects and implementations of TOD. The expert in this field may be already familiar with many topics, but the book offers good insights for graduate students and pratictioners, and it can be a good complement for a professional library or a private collection of books on planning.
