In China, the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is an urban typology on the rise. One of the distinct characteristics of a TOD is that during the project-planning phase, one or more stations of high-end public transportation are integrated in mixed-use developments by implementation of efficient pedestrian- or bicycle-friendly routes. The one million square meter large Uni-City situated in Hangzhou’s very own ‘Silicon Valley’ is one of these TOD’s with Chinese mega e-commerce companies such as Alibaba and Tencent.
