• Abstract:
  Providing affordable housing and reducing greenhouse gases are common goals in cities worldwide. Transit-oriented development (TOD) can enable incremental progress on both fronts, by building affordable housing near transit and by providing alternative transport modes such that households reduce driving. Our research gives evidence that planners should focus on both goals jointly to avoid promoting one at the expense of the other. Using Los Angeles as a case study, we develop a scenario planning model which considers both housing and transportation goals and examines tradeoffs between two policy approaches.
