Transit Oriented Development as a Smart City's Interface

Train Stations are nodes of exchange, a manifestation of technology integration and social needs, designed and built on fluxes of trains, goods, and people. Less traceable are the flows when those spread in the city, commuting in different ways, by bus or bikes, cabs, or just by walking. As public, smart, hybrid, and micro, mobility is a big component of smart cities, with metro stations as the district's core: hyper connectors among multiverses. But, how different cities or districts (the multiverses) do exist around stations? That is where the smart city meets transit development oriented (TOD).
