Abstract
The universal issue for authorities is to plan land use more effectively and efficiently, and to provide more sustainable mobility in urban areas. The sustainable prism model is proposed to achieve the requirements for sustainable development. Transit-oriented Development (TOD) is a city planning method that coordinates the mass transit system and the land use pattern. This article analyzes the sustainable prism and discusses the effect of TOD on sustainabilities in ecology, economy and equality to provide the city planner insight into the urban development pattern. Generally, TOD can reduce the energy consumption in the transport sector and related infrastructure, contribute to the air quality from the environmental aspect, facilitate employment and attract investment in the economic aspect and improve discrepancy in employment availability and transport burden among different groups from the social equality aspect. However, the noise pollution in the environment, the value capture effect in the economic aspect and the TOD efficiency in the social justice aspect are insufficiently discussed.
