'''Transit-proximate development''' is a term used by some planning officials to describe (potentially dense) development that is physically near a [[public transport]] node (e.g. a [[bus station]], [[train station]] or [[metro station]]). This type of development includes [[transit-oriented development]], but, according to some planning officials, can also describe development that is not transit-oriented development. Thus, transit-proximate development can include results where, despite the ___location of dense development near transit, the development does not take full advantage of -- or fully encourage the use of -- the public transport node. For example, transit-proximate development could include buildings with extensive [[parking]] facilities typical of suburban locations, a lack of "[[mixed-use development]]" (housing, workplaces and shopping in the same place), or a lack of extensive [[pedestrian]] facilities that would make it easier for people to reach the public transport node.
