| Transit-Oriented Development: Moving From Rhetoric to Reality |
| Great American Station Foundation |
| National | September 2000 | to | September 2001 |
| The Great American Station Foundation retained Strategic Economics as part of its National Transit-Oriented |
| Development Initiative to study how the Foundation or another entity could act as a development intermediary to |
| encourage new development around multi-modal transit centers, as well as to promote redevelopment of historic |
| train stations and surrounding neighborhoods. Specifically, Strategic Economics was tasked with answering the |
| question of why transit-oriented development is not more prevalent or more successful. The resulting paper was |
| published by the Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy and in the Fall 2002 edition of |
| Issues in Science and Technology, which is sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences. |
