Abstract：Based on the existing massive academic research on the TOD mode in Shenzhen, this article aims to further answer
the question of the evolution of TOD morphological rules and their impact on the urban space of Shenzhen. Therefore,
this article explains the development process and technical characteristics of the urban planning and renewal rules that
support the normalized TOD development in Shenzhen, analyzes the TOD forms derived from this rule mechanism, as
well as the new spatial typologies directly generated, such as transit-oriented high-density industrial parks, affordable
housing and talent housing settlements, rail car depots, and ultra large underground transportation hubs. It preliminarily
points out that the TOD development in Shenzhen has formed a different spatial pattern and urbanism from the
traditional Calthorpian type TOD or the TOD practices in other high-density Asian mega-cities such as those of Hong
Kong and Tokyo.
