Transforming cities with integrated developments
Transit Oriented Development
Collaborating with both private developers and civic planning authorities, Perkins and Will converges architecture, place making and urban design to draw the programmatic mix of uses deep within the transit experience.
Blurring the line between city and transit, we are able to connect people, places and opportunity like never before. Ultimately, these integrated solutions move both public transit and mixed use development well beyond the typical TOD, providing accessibility and connections that maximize the benefits for all segments of the population.

Our transit-oriented developments are an urban form that is increasingly important to sustainable urban futures.

TOD environments enhance a city’s economic competitiveness, reduce local pollution and global greenhouse gas emissions, and promote inclusive development.
