Ltd.10.26689/PBES.v9i8.15223ArticleResearch on Enhancing Resilience in Chinese Large Cities Based on the TOD Model https://artdesignp.com/journal/PBES/9/8/10.26689/PBES.v9i8.15223WangXiaorong2026982026-08-31The development of large cities is plagued by urban maladies and random internal and external disturbances, making it necessary to enhance urban resilience. By coordinating transportation and urban planning, the TOD model builds a multi‑modal and three‑dimensional transport network, improves the connectivity of urban space, boosts mobility, and enhances the resilience of large cities. By integrating regional functions in planning, the TOD model fosters a polycentric and distributed urban form, and improves cities’ stability, flexibility, and innovativeness amid disturbances, thereby elevating the resilience of large cities. Through above‑ground and underground space development centered on public transport networks, the TOD model reduces land occupation, delivers low‑carbon transportation, promotes the balance between jobs and housing, preserves the diversity of natural environments, improves environmental redundancy, and strengthens resilience. The practice of the TOD model requires support from a sound institutional system. Emphasis should be placed on the compatibility and adaptability of planned spaces, and planning contents shall be dynamically adjusted in response to social development and technological progress.TOD, Resilience, Large cities, Urban resilience
