Study type: Research report

In the following document, we describe the current understanding of transit-oriented development (TOD), based on the literature, particularly as it relates to the context of low-income countries. We also review conditions for TOD in the Eastern African target countries and cities, based on an assessment of quantitative indicators as well as a review of existing policy documents. This baseline assessment lays the foundation for future case studies of TOD policies towards the development of guidance for the implementation of TOD in the target context.
