About Atlanta

The neighborhoods and districts of Atlanta attracted four million new residents in recent decades and form the heart of one of the five mega-regions in the US. Atlanta’s reputation for sprawl is matched by a formidable regional response — innovative public-private partnerships and extensive reform networks engaging in nationally relevant strategies to reduce emissions, enhance sustainability and promote healthy lives. Atlanta has more than 15 million square feet of recent transit-related development and livable neighborhoods to explore at every scale, from historic in-town streetcar garden suburbs to walkable infill communities and mixed-use tower districts. Home to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta is an international capital for public health, as well as for civil rights, higher education and entrepreneurship.
