Climate-Resilient Transit-Oriented Inclusive and Vibrant Areas for Everyone

The project “Accelerating Climate-Resilient Transit-Oriented Inclusive and Vibrant Areas for Everyone in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area,” (ACTIVATE Bangkok) addresses urban mobility, climate resilience, and inclusivity in Bangkok. In promoting Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), the project considered climate adaptation through 3 dimensions: Adapting infrastructure, adapting the urban environment, and adapting social behaviour

ADAPTING THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT

Promoting vibrant, mixed-use neighborhoods with accessible and inclusive public spaces, nature-based solutions, and climate-resilient amenities, around transit stations.

ADAPTING SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR

Encouraging active mobility and accessibility for women, youth, elderly, and persons with disabilities as part of daily transit routines.
