Editing Transit-oriented development (section)

=====Ottawa, Ontario=====
Ottawa encourages high density development within 600m of all rapid transit stations, including both the bus rapid transit [[Transitway (Ottawa)|Transitway]] and the city's [[O-Train|urban rail]] system, with the goal of creating feature complete mixed use communities within walking distance to transit. The city simultaneously discourages auto oriented development, such as parking lots, in the same areas.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Planning |first=Development and Building Department |date=2023-09-18 |title=Development Guidelines |url=https://ottawa.ca/en/planning-development-and-construction/community-design/design-and-planning-guidelines/completed-guidelines/transit-oriented-development-guidelines/development-guidelines#section-530c0a44-ebba-467d-851d-b4826f5273e3 |access-date=2024-10-17 |website=ottawa.ca |language=en}}</ref>

This has had the effect of creating many tower clusters far outside the city centre, with stations like [[Lincoln Fields station|Lincoln Fields]] and [[Lycée Claudel station|Lycée Claudel]] having entire neighbourhoods appear around them.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=2019-06-10 |title=Autowa no more?
