Theoretical review on the relationship between pedestrian infrastructure design and passenger ridership under rail-based transit oriented development

Design of pedestrian infrastructure is one of few elements in relationship to Transit-oriented Development (TOD). The success of TOD depends on how effectively pedestrian network or link between transit station and surrounding land use. Literature stated that urban design factors and pedestrian-f...
