The Latin America and Asia regions are currently leading the implementation of BRT systems in the world with 56 and 35 cities respectively. This webinar discusses the quantitative and qualitative results of two research projects looking at land development impacts of BRT systems in 7 cities in Latin America and 2 cities in India – with special focus on Bogota (Colombia), Quito (Ecuador), Ahmedabad and Indore (India). The research methodology applied in both projects is presented in order to show participants data collection techniques of built environment characteristics around BRT stops in cities where land use data is not usually available.
