“…There is a consensus that physical design is critical to successful TOD (Forsyth, Jacobson, and Thering 2010;Jacobson and Forsyth 2008). Design contributes to the image and identity of a transit neighborhood (Douglas 2010). The success of Orenco Station in Hillsboro, Oregon, for example, has been explained by its physical design (Bae 2002;Charles and Barton 2003).…”

Promoting a new vision of community—walkable, affordable, environmentally sustainable—the urban design idea of transit-oriented development (TOD) extended the land use and transportation nexus. This review article offers a twenty-five-year retrospective of TOD literature, shaped by disciplinary, policy, and practice predilections. Although the “D” in TOD stands for the encompassing notion of “development,” most literature focused on land development in particular. Meanwhile, sustainable or community development ideas languished, and other Ds such as Density, Diversity, and Design served as an operational framework for outcome-based research. We conclude by urging renewed focus in TOD research on the original goal of developing inclusive and sustainable communities.

“…In contrast, an affordable, efficient, multimodal (combining different means of transport), accessible and interconnected public transport system stimulates interaction among people as well as a sense of belonging 26 . Additionally, a well-designed transport system facilitates the mobility of elderly people and enhances their autonomy 27 .…”

“…The sort of visible ethnic cultural institutions that help to give Ukrainian Village its identity are concentrated east of Edgetown and it lacks signage or other identifying urban design features of the type found in other Chicago neighbourhoods (Hunter, 1974; Reed, 2003). The area has no transit station, public library or other civic institutions with identity-giving potential either (see Douglas, 2010). The built environment of the area is fairly unremarkable, save for the preponderance of new (and underoccupied) mixed-use developments.…”

The Edge of the Island: Cultural Ideology and Neighbourhood Identity at the Gentrification Frontier

Building on recent ethnographic accounts that have drawn attention to the nuanced ideologies of contemporary gentrifiers, this article brings cultural considerations to bear on the geography of gentrification’s fringes. Through a case study of a neighbourhood at the gentrification frontier in Chicago, it examines the factors driving first-wave ‘pioneers’ into an area with little prior popular identity or interest. Conscious of the wider gentrification process, these individuals are essentially seeking (and creating) a particular time and place within it—they idealise the ‘edge’ itself. Yet while they are actively fleeing advanced gentrification, their actions pave the way for its further expansion. The study finds that gentrification’s borders are subjective and relative in the minds of the newcomers themselves, who frame the process in terms of their own ideologies. These sub-cultural ideals are central to understanding the expansion of the gentrification frontier today.
