Building density is an index for controlling population density. Building at higher densities not only makes more efficient of land but can also deliver high quality. Nowadays by the reason of rapid and sprawl growth of cities and increasing urban services costs a decision should be made to decrease these costs by the means of building density. Also the efficient use of land is an important objective in making development more sustainable. It is embedded in government policy. Compact development not only uses less land, but it also has the potential to create efficiencies in the use of other resources, including energy supply and transportation. Basically public transportation stations and specially subway stations are well proper potential for urban developments because of high level of services of these places. Increasing building density around subway stations is acceptable but just when it doesn't decline the efficiency of urban equipment, facilities and services and also life quality. This paper investigates new faces, approaches and ideas of increasing building density around subway stations and offers polices and solutions to increase building density in low-building density areas around subway stations.
