Scientists, professionals, and<br />
policy-makers alike consider<br />
the integr<strong>at</strong>ed development of<br />
urban places and transport nodes<br />
– often referred to as Transit-Oriented<br />
Development (TOD) – as a<br />
key str<strong>at</strong>egy for achieving more<br />
sustainable urban development.<br />
Accordingly, several policies and<br />
programmes have been developed<br />
in accordance with TOD principles<br />
in cities and regions around the<br />
world, including in the Amsterdam<br />
metropolitan region. However, persistent<br />
governance, financial, and<br />
knowledge barriers are hampering<br />
their implement<strong>at</strong>ion. This research<br />
aims to address these implement<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
problems, building on work<br />
already being undertaken <strong>by</strong> the<br />
academic and professional partners<br />
in the research consortium, and<br />
combining insights form intern<strong>at</strong>ional<br />
experiences with “action<br />
oriented” research involving stakeholders.<br />
The main research question<br />
centres on identifying lessons<br />
for successfully developing and<br />
implementing a TOD str<strong>at</strong>egy in the<br />
Amsterdam metropolitan region.<br />
The lessons are structured around<br />
three key areas: (1) actors, institutions,<br />
and governance; (2) funding<br />
and value capturing; and (3)<br />
knowledge and inform<strong>at</strong>ion. Grant:<br />
