"Proximity promotes agglomeration, helping to grow industries and regional economies." I don't think you are understanding the agglomeration literature or you have an overbroad definition of "proximity."

Thank you. I think it is probably the former. I was wanting to make the point that proximity planning also includes access to employment opportunities, and that this can be beneficial to employers.
