Abstract

Mobility patterns, transportation infrastructure and urban form influence each other, and are the basic principles of transit oriented development (TOD). The article starts by discussing the potential that transport projects have as a strategy for urban development, and propose two different typologies of TOD: nodal and polar. It then analyzes the particular cases of Sydney and Cape Town, where transportation projects for the Olympic Games and World Cup, respectively, were based on the assumption that transportation would be the driving force for a desired change in urban development.
