“…There are 17 bus routes serving the residential district, among which five bus routes are only commuting within the development area and seven bus routes connect the district to the center of Beijing and five bus routes connect to Yizhuang’s commercial centers. To further improve the public transit, there are plans to establish a 76 km-long tram line, which includes four tram lines to provide faster and more convenient transportation (Xia et al , 2017; Figure 5).…”

Purpose China’s capital Beijing is a special case of fast urbanization and monocentric development, resulting in major efforts to implement polycentric structures. The purpose of this paper is thus centered on understanding the phenomenon of an established edge city and the level of integration regarding all daily activities of its residents. Design/methodology/approach Since the end of the 20th century, Chinese cities have been witnessing rapid urban growth and expansion. One of the major planning challenges has been the implementation of polycentric urban structures to enforce integrated urbanism and thus less dependency on commuting to few main commercial and business centers. The methodological approach includes various mapping efforts and field studies to investigate the currently produced urban landscape and highlight the rather challenging reality of edge cities being produced in a very short period of time. Findings This paper explores one of Beijing’s biggest edge cities, known as the Yizhuang Development Area, which was created by an investment initiative of the municipal government. The city has been developed with a strong focus on functional planning aspects rather than a dynamic diversification of walkable districts with emerging identities. Originality/value This investigation attempts to add some new insights into the contemporary urbanism in Chinese edge cities and the general problem of missing urban design initiatives to enhance the overall urban quality of diversity and social interaction.

“…In the research of TOD URT development process, many scholars at home and abroad have made some achievements. Xia h and others pointed out that rail transit has the basic characteristics of short time fixed point, timing, huge transport capacity and passenger flow, strict boundary and closure of the system, established interface, lack of variability of time and space, high cost and operation and maintenance costs [11]. Loo B and others pointed out that the realization of the overall urban development strategy depends on the guiding role of TOD mode of URT.…”

With the rapid development of urbanization and motorization in China, the urban problems such as low-quality land spread and low efficiency of transportation are becoming increasingly prominent. It has become an effective method to solve the traffic and environment problems by using TOD theory, while mass rail transit has become the best carrier of TOD model. TOD is a powerful means to optimize land use, traffic development and urban planning, which provides a possibility for the organic combination of land use and traffic development. This paper mainly studies the visualization method of TOD development process based on big data. In TOD model of urban development guided by public transport, this paper studies and analyzes the planning points of TOD mode, and also studies the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and threats of urban rail transit(URT) to prove the reliability of TOD development process. This paper studies the scale algorithm of rail transit network, and also analyzes the environmental pollution caused by various traffic modes and the land use ratio of TOD types by chart analysis. The experimental results show that the most important vehicle in cities is automobiles, while the energy consumption of Metro light rail is only 0.84, carbon dioxide emissions are 1.21 and noise pollution is 0.42. The pollution caused by it is the smallest, which is worth expanding. In terms of the proportion of type land, residential land is the core of neighborhood, accounting for 62.5%, while urban TOD is mainly used for core land, accounting for 55%. In the type land, different types of land use main functions are different.

“…The concept of transit-oriented development (TOD) is a relatively recent development design approach that links frequent and accessible rail transit services to residential, retail, commercial, and community services [1]. The TOD concept was first proposed by an American architect Calthorpe [2] in the 1990s.…”

Transit-oriented development (TOD) links residential, retail, commercial, and community service developments to frequent, accessible rail transit services to stimulate sustainable development in the form of decreased land use and transport integration. A mixed-use shopping mall can be developed as a TOD with moderate to high density with diverse land use patterns and well-connected street networks centred around and integrated with a rail transit station. Shopping mall developments are now considered as the retail, social, and community centres of their communities. Therefore, understanding their services' mixed impact on nearby transit stations will provide further insight into the success of the TOD approach. As a result, this study aims to review and link the recent literature on attractiveness factors of shopping malls and the design factors of TOD and report the researchers' analytic observations (themes) clarifying transit-oriented shopping mall developments' (TOSMDs) attractiveness factors. The review systematically synthesises 208 guiding articles. It uses the elements of the extended service marketing mix (product, price, place, promotion, people, physical evidence, and process) and the five factors related to TODs (density, diversity, urban design, destination accessibility, and distance) as an indicator system for the factors determining the attractiveness of TOSMD. The review outcome is utilised to establish a conceptual framework for the attractiveness of rail TOSMDs. The study revealed fragmented causes of attractiveness factors of rail TOSMDs. It contributes to further understanding of TOD as it crossreviews retail and urban design literature findings. The resultant conceptual framework will also inform and potentially enhance the existing rail transit station passenger forecasting models and increase the economic sustainability of rail transit networks.
