Equitable Transit Oriented Development & Anti-Displacement (Emerging Leaders Program)

The proposed capstone project aims to explore and address the negative byproducts of Transit Oriented Development (TOD). TOD seeks to create vibrant sustainable and accessible neighborhoods around public transit. However, as it invites interest and investment, this often leads to increased property values, gentrification, and displacement of communities. The goal of this project is to bring attention to projects that have implemented effective anti-displacement policies and efforts, as well as highlight actionable solutions for developing more equitable TOD communities.
