In this paper, we look at the residential and commercial areas that have been built around prominent Hong Kong rail stations. Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) are the walkable areas around MTR stations. Their sustainability and ability to properly serve the needs of residents based on social, environmental and economic aspects has not been properly assessed. We have devised more comprehensive tools to assess TOD sustainability. From this we provide a series of recommendations for new developments, as well as recommendations for improving the sustainability of existing developments both within Hong Kong and abroad. %9 Interactive Qualifying Project %~ Digital WPI %W WPI
