CREATIVE ECONOMY IN TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT

KARAWANG STATION TOD

Located next to an existing toll rest area and surrounded by leading and the largest industrial corridor and region in the country, this TOD offers a central business district that is well connected to green living region and creative economy special district. 

Developing transit oriented development at this greenfield site requires seamless effort between programming, partners outreach, and early activation. Key to the success of this initiative is also the ability to bring urgency to the needed early investment while the high speed rail infrastructure is still being built. Bringing diversity in the formulated density is hoped to expedite movement of people; family and professionals.
