An integrated transportation-land development framework is critical to explicitly address concerns on sustainability in urban areas. This paper shall examine the various options that can be used by transportation and urban development agencies to promote sustainability. A number of cases studies in the United States are presented and lessons are drawn from the implementation of these strategies. Examples of efforts in Asian countries to integrate transportation and urban development are then discussed.
