Evanston cautiously embraces transit-oriented development to achieve climate goals
Daily Northwestern | September 27, 2024
Evanston might seem like a stereotypical college town — replete with bookstores, coffee shops, trendy restaurants and an abundance of apartments close to Northwestern. Looking closely, however, Evanston has two relatively unique assets: widespread access to consistent public transit and local amenities within walking distance.
That’s a result of transit-oriented development, which maximizes the amount of housing and commercial space adjacent to public transit stations. It’s gaining traction among city planners across the country as cities like San Francisco and Boston aim to meet climate goals.
CNT is engaged by governments, advocates, policy makers, and community groups to apply our expertise to solving problems.
