“…Furthermore, urban land is owned by the state in China. This situation differs greatly from the private developerdriven context of TOD in the US (Guthrie & Fan, 2016.) As a result, if a TOD wants to be successful in China, it must alter the planning, design, and operation of TOD projects.…”

Transit-oriented development (TOD) has been widely accepted in recent years as an important urban development policy. This article reviews the existing TOD literature pertinent to conditions in China, introduces TOD practices in China, and evaluates land development impacts of TOD across 50 Chinese cities that either have metro systems already or expect to have operating metro systems by 2020. The evaluation analysis contributes to the existing literature because most research on TOD in Chinese cities has focused on large, national or provincial capitals such as Beijing, Shanghai, and/or Guangzhou. Based on simulation analysis, we evaluate TOD's land development impacts across all Chinese cities that are expected to have metro systems by 2020. Our results show that the second-as well as the thirdclass cities of China will have more potential for TOD implementation than the first-class cities in the next five years.

“…What changed in 2013 was that TOD was actively championed by the highest political office in the city, with the technical construct now aligned to a politically evocative term, Corridors of Freedom . Although TOD is often linked to synergized public and private interests ( Guthrie & Fan, 2016 ), there were no large real estate developers waiting in the wings for the Corridors, and the City of Johannesburg had to work hard to entice developers away from their traditional spatial preferences to invest in the Corridors ( Todes & Robinson, 2019 ). The Corridors initiative was the consequence of a political move by an ambitious mayor who was concerned to show that his new administration could deliver practically on a national agenda for socio-spatial transformation ( Harrison et al, 2019 ).…”

Highlights The paper compares three large-scale urban developments: Lingang, Shanghai, Corridors of Freedom, Johannesburg, and Old Oak Park Royal, London. The comparative analysis assesses the different business models - institutional arrangements, sources of financing - enabling each development. All were cross-jurisdictional and long-term projects, requiring institutional innovation and assembling of an array of transcalar actors. The three projects deliver on metro-wide strategic goals and depended on realizing financial value through the development itself to cover costs. The different business models had different outcomes, shaped by distinctive regulatory pathways, enabling comparison of diverse urban contexts.

“…Our study adds to a substantial base of recent scholarly work that has addressed implications of MPRs on land use and value (Cutter & Franco, 2012), housing affordability and supply (Lehe, 2018;Manville, 2013), and resident parking perceptions and behavioral responses (Antonson et al, 2017). Studies focusing on TOD have suggested MPRs constrain developers of affordable and inexpensive housing (Gabbe, 2018;Guthrie & Fan, 2016). Guthrie and Fan (2016) find that developers perceive MPRs as barriers to TOD because they increase costs and decrease buildable land.…”

“…As the urban core began to attract development and residents, certain developers anticipated parking shortages (or price increases) could make downtown less attractive for tenants, visitors, and businesses accustomed to automobile use (Epstein, 2018). Conversely, research has suggested MPRs constrain development in dense, centrally located neighborhoods with frequent transit service (Gabbe, 2018;Guthrie & Fan, 2016). Recognizing the potential for parking to create negative impacts, Buffalo city officials were wary of encouraging oversupply because they anticipated TOD, bicycle infrastructure upgrades, and disruptive technologies could make parking obsolete in the long term (Epstein, 2018).…”

Problem, research strategy, and findings: Cities today face considerable land use, environmental, and economic challenges resulting from policies prioritizing automobiles and requiring ample off-street parking. In an effort to influence travel behavior and reduce parking supply, Buffalo (NY) adopted the Green Code in 2017. This zoning code reform repealed minimum parking requirements citywide and provided a "natural experiment" to investigate effects of parking deregulation among 36 major developments in its first 2 years. Our research produced two key findings. First, 47% of major developments included fewer parking spaces than previously permissible, suggesting earlier minimum parking requirements may have been excessive. Second, mixed-use developments introduced 53% fewer parking spaces than would have been required by earlier minimum requirements as developers readily took advantage of the newfound possibility to include less off-street parking. Aggregate parking spaces among single-use projects exceeded the earlier minimum requirements, suggesting developers of such projects were less motivated to deviate from accepted practices in determining the parking supply for urban development. Takeaway for practice: Eliminating parking minimums can reduce unnecessary parking supply and encourage development constrained by excessive minimum requirements. Land use, location, and transportation demand initiatives affect the quantity of off-street parking supplied in response to market conditions. Our findings suggest mixed-use developers are likely to take advantage of the ability to provide less parking in highly accessible locations. Though many developers quickly pivot to the newfound possibilities of providing fewer parking spaces, others continue to meet earlier requirements. Cities of all types stand to benefit from undoing constraining parking policies of the past and allowing developers to transform parking lots to "higher uses."
