Abstract:Transit-oriented development (TOD), the clustering of new, more intensive development near transit stations, has many advantages. While TODs can lead to increased public transit use, some have argued that wider community benefits can accrue. These benefits include “social capital,” defined as greater civic engagement among residents and connections with neighbors and others in the community. The antithesis is that more sprawling, less compact, communities result in social isolation. This research investigates whether various measures of social capital are associated with living in or near TODs.
