SummaryTransit-oriented development (TOD) analysis evaluates how well the land around public-transport stations supports compact, mixed-use, walkable development that feeds and is fed by transit. Its analytical backbone is Luca Bertolini's 1999 node–place model, which scores every station area on two axes — its value as a transport node and its value as a place of activity — and diagnoses whether the two are in balance. Combined with the classic density, diversity, and design dimensions and with network measures of access to stations, the approach identifies which station areas are under-developed, over-stressed, or ripe for intensification.15-minute city analysis assesses how many of life's daily needs — shops, schools, healthcare, work, recreation — residents can reach within a short walk or bike ride, typically fifteen minutes, from their homes. Articulated by Carlos Moreno in 2021 under the banner of chrono-urbanism, the concept reorients planning around proximity and time rather than mobility and distance. The analysis operationalizes it by computing walk or cycle isochrones around residential locations and scoring how completely the essential categories of urban functions fall within reach, producing proximity indices that can be mapped, compared across neighbourhoods, and weighted by population.
