“…Furthermore, Well-integrated transit and land development can lead to less driving, more active transportation, attractive live/work districts, and can reduce local pollution (Suzuki et. al, 2013;Tremblay-Racicot & Mercier, 2014).…”

“…2011, simultaneous development of transportation and brownfield development are crucial to it's success (Johnson et. al., 2002;Amekudzi & Fomunung, 2004;Tremblay-Racicot & Mercier, 2014). This is because policies linking brownfields and transportation development accelerate regeneration of brownfield sites (Amekudzi & Fomunung, 2004).…”

In Europe and in North America, Light Rail Transit (LRT) is increasingly being seen as a viable and attractive transportation option which is not as cost prohibitive as heavy rail, yet carries more passengers and travels at higher speeds than traditional bus transit. Brownfield regeneration is at the forefront of urban land use policy, as cities try to reign in sprawl and address local economic, social, and environmental implications of such underused or abandoned sites. This paper will examine the relationship between the implementation of LRT in urban environments, and how that investment in transportation infrastructure affects the regeneration of urban brownfield sites. This will be achieved through the use of three urban case studies, each with subpopulations between 100,000 – 500,000. Key Words: Light Rail Transit, Brownfield, Transportation, Sustainability, Urban Mobility, Urban Financing, Municipal Plans and Policies.

“…At the same time, it is important to note that the difficulties in vertical and horizontal institutional coordination are generally outlined in literature as one of the main barriers to the land usetransport planning integration required by TOD (Hull, 2009;Leite et al, 2008;Tremblay Racicot & Mercier, 2014). Despite the importance and problematic nature of this multi-level governance approach in promoting TOD, to date scientific literature has predominantly focused on the local implementation of TOD planning, i.e., on how municipalities and urban actors can guarantee density, diversity and walking-oriented design around stations.…”

“… vertical, horizontal, spatial and financial segmentation involving different sectors and levels; TOD projects have to deal with the multiple segmentation of governance layers (local, metropolitan, provincial, regional, national), planning sectors (land use, transport, economy), administrative boundaries between municipalities involved, and financial resources and budgets (Hull, 2009;Leite et al, 2008;te Brommelstroet, 2010;Tremblay Racicot & Mercier, 2014);…”
