Abstract
The presence of light rail is increasing across the United States. This mode of transportation provides unique opportunities to serve as a catalyst for new developments and redevelopments. This document studies what types of redevelopment can be stimulated by the expansion of Metro Link (St. Louis’s light rail system) into the Gardens District. The information gathered is used to present urban design strategies and an architectural solution for a transit-oriented development.
