transit-oriented
Built around hubs
Transit-oriented describes development or planning designed around public transportation hubs.
Transit-oriented development clusters housing, offices, and retail within walking distance of train stations or bus stops, reducing car dependence: The city approved a transit-oriented project near the new light rail station.
The approach aims to create walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods that maximize ridership.
