Research Summary
This study examines transit-oriented development as a strategy for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions from buildings and transportation and creating a sustainable urban environment. Focusing on Toyama Station and its surroundings, it analyzes how TOD links public transport with land-use planning to promote compact, high-density development around stations.
Toyama coordinated projects for city-center revitalization, public transport activation, and downtown residential development through effective connections with the railway station. The study argues that stations should be understood not simply as transport facilities but as essential urban infrastructure integrating mobility, land use, and urban functions, and that this approach can inform old-city regeneration in Korea.
