{{Short description|Urban planning prioritising automobiles and transit}}
'''Transit-proximate development''' is a term used by some planning officials to describe (potentially dense) development that is physically near a [public transport](/source/public_transport) node (e.g. a [bus station](/source/bus_station), [train station](/source/train_station) or [metro station](/source/metro_station)).  This type of development includes [transit-oriented development](/source/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](/source/parking) facilities typical of suburban locations, a lack of "[mixed-use development](/source/mixed-use_development)" (housing, workplaces and shopping in the same place), or a lack of extensive [pedestrian](/source/pedestrian) facilities that would make it easier for people to reach the public transport node.
