Abstract: Jingyu Street, which is centered on the historical block of Baroque, has not been effective after two phases of renovation. The activation of the old district is in a dilemma, so it is urgent to inject fresh vitality from the perspective of transformation. As the phase Ⅱ project of Harbin Metro Line 3 is under construction, the planned line network is parallel to Jingyu Street. This paper took this opportunity to consider the new method of activating the historical district from the perspective of rail transit station planning. Based on TOD theory and the current situation of Chinese cities, the efficiency of subway station was analyzed from three aspects: land use, pedestrian system and public transport system. The results showed that there were some unreasonable problems in land use, bus stop proportion and location distribution in Wudao Street and Mosque station area. The pedestrian environment of Beima Road station was blocked and the public transportation system was weak. Jingyu Park station was perfect except for the single land type. Based on this, the paper proposed an optimization strategy and summarized the intrinsic value and potential efficiency of TOD model. The purpose is to improve the application and linkage of rail transit, provide a new perspective for the reuse of historical blocks, and put forward new methods for creating a convenient and comfortable living environment and building a compact and efficient regional structure system.
