Workshop: Transit Oriented Development: From Design to Decision (Nov 20, 2025 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM PST)
About this event:
Created for urban planners, designers, development professionals and public officials, this one-day workshop is a collaborative and engaging event designed to provide reality-tested, practical advice on how to plan, design and implement successful and context-specific Transit Oriented Development schemes.
The Province of British Columbia’s new policies (Bill 47) around transit-oriented areas provides a framework through which this workshop will set the implementation considerations that successful projects need to consider.
The workshop offers a platform where you can discuss the integration of land use and transportation planning, emphasizing the importance of pedestrian-friendly design, mixed-use development and efficient transit connectivity. Through interactive sessions, case studies and expert in-depth presentations with local and international examples, you will gain insights into the economic, environmental and social benefits of TOD. The hands-on format will foster a dynamic exchange of ideas, encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration and empower you to contribute to the development of transit-oriented communities that enhance urban living while reducing reliance on automobiles.
Note: This intermediate-level workshop requires a familiarity with basic planning and development terminologies. Please bring a laptop to participate in the workshop exercises.
Learning Objectives
- Identifying what is Transit Oriented Development (TOD), its drivers, principles, evolution and key components.
- Recognizing the extent, opportunities and limits of the recent Province of BC legislation to produce feasible, viable and supportable TODs with built and conceptual local and international examples.
- Assessing the success criteria and common pitfalls in the planning and implementation of TOD.
- Capturing actionable input for TODs through participating in public and stakeholder engagement exercises and simulations.
- Demonstrating how data from various sources can be leveraged to support fact-based TOD decision-making.
