Although it is agreed that TODcan provide even greater benefits than in wealthier countries in long term, developingcountries (DCs) are characterized with specific transport-related issues such as vexingcongestion, inadequate PT infrastructure, financial obstacles, etc., that should be dealt withto deliver successful integrated TOD projects. In this regards, the present study shedsfurther lights on the transportation prerequisites of transit oriented urban planning in DCs.First, a systematic review of global literature provided a set of transportation dimensionsintegrated with urban development. Due to the recent national policies on TOD, Iran wasselected as a case and a set of semi-structured interviews was conducted with Iranian urbanand transport planners along with government officials in April-June 2019. The resultsshowed that although there are some favorable conditions to TOD developments in Irane.g., amalgamated transportation and urban development ministries, urban transportation ishindered by pro-car policies such as subsidized fuel price and lack of multi-modalinfrastructure in comparison with the best practices in such DCs as Curitiba. The findingshave also implications for transportation policymakers, city officials, planners, andinterested readers and practitioners in Iran and other DCs interested in TOD.
