Cover Story: Transit-oriented development (TOD) has become a leading model of urban planning worldwide that promises to meet a broad range of local and regional objectives. This article discusses the policymakers’ hope and critics’ concern for the implementation of a newly started TOD project in Rosengård—a segregated, low-income neighborhood in Malmö, Sweden, through a mixed qualitative–quantitative method. The study illustrates that the area has gradually entered into a transit-induced gentrification process as well as some controversial evidence of the affordability paradox of TOD. The results also challenge the ability of TOD in physical planning to mitigate the current socioeconomic segregation in Rosengård. View this paper
