Abstract
Transit-oriented development (TOD) is an important concept when it comes to encouraging sustainable mobility and increasingly sustainable urban development, especially for countries where automobile use overshadows public transport like Australia. Therefore, looking to countries like Japan with long histories of development centered around railway stations and high public transport use can be highly valuable. However, there is little research published in English examining Japanese TODs, especially in terms of policy comparisons. This paper has looked at Sendai, Japan, and Adelaide, Australia in order to compare their TOD planning approaches and policies, with the aim of using the TODs of Sendai as a basis for enhancing TOD development in Adelaide. Results indicate that increasing railway transit network development in Adelaide is essential to changing the way people travel. Also, Adelaide can learn lessons from Japan’s experience by attracting higher private sector involvement and improve the ridership along with the increasing the revenue from other sources besides farebox.
