The lab studies urban land use through community development around public transit.
AboutAbout the lab
Building vibrant cities around public transit
The Habitat Engineering Lab studies how forming communities around public transit can improve the efficiency of urban land use.
This approach is called Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). It encourages cities to grow upward rather than spread horizontally, creating dense and vibrant areas.
The aim is for housing, shops, and entertainment facilities to be located near public transit and easily accessible.
