“…These development corridors are designed to be the backbone of the city's transportation system, and the plan actively encourages the use of public transport over private vehicles (CoJ, 2012: 14). This approach not only reduces travel times and costs but also makes Table 1: TOD implementation instruments Land-use and zoning regulations • Land-use regulations play a big part in shaping urban growth and land-use patterns, and in facilitating changes in the built environment, which ultimately impacts travel behaviour, location decisions, and everyday travel needs (Zhu et al, 2022: 2). • Land-use and zoning regulations enable upzoning for higher density development, downzoning in non-transit accessible locations, and a transition to mixed land uses in areas encompassing transit hubs (Goodwill & Hendricks, 2002: 9).…”

Apartheid’s impact on South Africa’s urban spatial patterns persists, resulting in spatial fragmentation and inequality. Unsustainable urban sprawl exacerbates challenges related to economic access. To address said challenges, the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) implemented the Corridors of Freedom (CoF) initiative, emphasising economic inclusion. Amid substantial public sector investment, the initiative prioritised the Louis Botha Development Corridor (LBDC) to create a dense, mixed-use, walkable urban environment. However, limited research investigated the LBDC’s impact from an economic access perspective. This study investigates how the LBDC has improved economic access and provides policy insights for urban areas in South Africa, within the conceptual framework of transit-oriented development (TOD) and development corridors. A quantitative research approach using Network Analyst reveals that the Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system increased economic access by 16% compared to other LBDC transport services. This study demonstrates the potential of the dual implementation of TOD and development corridors to foster economic access in the study area and concludes with policy recommendations centred on cross-departmental collaboration, feasibility studies and risk allocation, location-based criteria and transit accessibility targets, transit-oriented design guidelines, and integrated transport systems.
