Smart mobility and transit-oriented development (TOD) are closely intertwined with smart urban living in developing a smart city. A number of initiatives were taken through smart mobility or TOD projects to ensure smart urban living over time. However, there is a lack of consistent approach to combining smart mobility and TOD for smart urban living. The connection between TOD and smart mobility performance indicators remains unexplored for smart urban living. Therefore, the study aim was to develop a conceptual framework for eco-friendly smart urban living with the integration of TOD and smart mobility performance indicators. A compendious literature search was conducted to identify the smart mobility and TOD performance indicators. A Delphi questionnaire was also used to rank the indicators by experts. The eco-friendly smart urban living framework was developed with the integration of smart mobility and TOD performance indicators. This study found eight TOD performance indicators, namely utilization of transit nodes, user-friendliness of a transit system, parking at the station, walkability and cyclability, land-use diversity, access and accessibility, density, and economic development, that needed to be considered to design a city for smart living. Six smart mobility indicators, namely, location efficiency, reliable mobility, health and safety, environmental stewardship, social equity, and robust economy, were also identified and included in the smart urban living framework due to their importance to ensure smart living environments. Future research should test this framework using local data in different geographical settings.
Societies are becoming more and more multifaceted due to population increases and technology advances. Owing to scarcity of land, price tends to rise as because local government invests in infrastructure, transportation, education and health sector. Land is not only a wealth-creating resource for sustenance but also the basic resource requirement for all development. Increasing urbanization is responsible for land price. Every land use shows different land price in terms of urban services and facilities, land use types, accessibility and social and environmental factors. Hence, it is necessary to strike a balance between the urban activities and the associate land conversion in order to attain sustained growth over a longer period of time. Savar municipality of Dhaka district is situated at a distance of about 29 km to the north-west of Dhaka City on the Dhaka-Aricha highway (“Community Series” Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, 2001). Due to rapid urbanization the rate of rural-urban migration is higher in this municipality. The supply of urban land is limited and demand for industrial, commercial as well as residential land is growing. Consequently, the stock of open spaces has been declining day by day with the increase of population at an alarming rate. This research has concentrated its focus on the effects of expected land use change on land price of Savar municipality. The study has observed that there is a strong relationship in between land use change and land price.
