ITDP’s Principles of Urban Development for transport in urban life:

1. [walk] Develop neighborhoods that promote walking

2. [cycle] Prioritize non-motorized transport networks

3. [connect] Create dense networks of streets and paths

4. [transit] Locate development near high-quality public transport

5. [mix] Plan for mixed use

6. [densify] Optimize density and transit capacity

7. [compact] Create regions with short commutes

8. [shift] Increase mobility by regulating parking and road us
