TOD SUMMIT
Plenary session: Jonathan Watts, Cuningham Architecture, along with the other technical assistance panel chairs, review
their findings and blueprints for success for four sites in LA County.
Los Angeles faces a historic opportunity to rethink how we plan, fund, and
build our future communities. To contribute to this conversation, the Urban
Land Institute Los Angeles initiated its premier Transit-Oriented Development
(TOD) Summit in 2010 to engage public and private sector leaders to discuss
pressing transportation and land use challenges. Throughout the course of the
summit, leaders in the field presented panel discussions, case studies and site
tours focusing on TOD finance, policy and design. The guest speakers for the
inaugural TOD Summit included: Barbara Boxer, United States Senator from
California; Shelley Poticha,
Senior Advisor for Sustainable
Housing and Communities at
HUD; and Richard Katz, Board
Member, MTA.
Over 400 developers, city
officials, property owners,
financiers, and community
representatives registered for the
event, showing their commitment
to transit and TOD in Los
Angeles.
The TOD Summit program featured overviews of the four TOD
TAP sites and highlights of the day’s events and the report can
