These posters were made for a workshop on Transit Oriented Development in India in March 2013, and are illustrations of ITDP’s Eight Principles for Transport in Urban Life.
They include photos and descriptions of the various objectives and metrics of the eight principles: Walk, Cycle, Connect, Transit, Mix, Densify, Compact, and Shift.
The new report, A Global High Shift Scenario, produced by from ITDP and the University of California, Davis, is the first study to examine how major changes in transport investments worldwide would affect urban passenger transport emissions, as well as the mobility of different income groups. This infographic demonstrates, by region, the emissions savings possible from a high shift toward low-carbon transport.
The 8 Principles for better streets and better cities highlight the key aspects of transport-oriented development that lead to good growth. For more information about these principles and best practices in TOD, see ITDP’s TOD Standard.
BRT systems are growing rapidly, bringing comfortable, fast, high quality transport to millions of people in some of the world’s fastest growing nations, at a fraction of the cost of metro and light rail. 1,849 of the 2,580 km of true BRT corridors have been built in the last ten years, with sweeping growth in many countries around the world.
There are many other potential uses for spaces reserved for parking. This illustration puts the opportunity costs in
perspective, showing how the private and public realm could be reshaped for higher value purposes.

The poster depicts innovative parking policies from Europe, like parking caps and building codes, to have better parking, better streets and better air.
