Anjum Parvez, the managing director of Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL), Thursday said the transit-oriented development (TOD) policy will be implemented on a pilot basis in six metro stations on the Central Silk Board and Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) stretch. Officials said the policy aims to make the best use of the public transport network through appropriate land use in urban spaces.
The Urban Development Department in an order dated November 17, 2022, had approved the TOD policy for Bengaluru. “The TOD aims to be an enabler to increase the viability of public transport, as a revitalizing tool to transform urban core areas through redevelopment and planning land uses that create lively sustainable places in greenfield development.
