transit village

A pedestrian-friendly mixed-use district or neighborhood oriented around the station of a high-quality transit system, such as rail or bus rapid transit (B.R.T.) Often a civic square or public space adjoins the train station, functioning as the hub or centerpiece of the surrounding community and encouraging social interaction, functioning as a third place. While mainly residential in nature, many transit villages offer convenience retail and services to residents heading to or returning from their commute. (Kremer, 2020)
