Identifying and conceptualising context-specific barriers to transit-oriented development strategies: the case of the Netherlands
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: Transit-oriented development strategies (TODS) are widely embraced.However, their implementation remains challenging.Institutional barriers play a key role here, and the literature provides an overview of the most important ones and ways of overcoming them.Yet, application of such insights remains elusive, due to the context-specific nature of barriers.As a first and necessary step to cope with the implementation challenge of TODS, this paper proposes an approach to identify barriers within a given context.The approach is applied to a hypothesis-generating case, the Netherlands.The findings indicate a vicious cycle of mutually reinforcing formal and informal barriers hampering implementation.The approach could be useful for cities elsewhere that face similar implementation difficulties.
