The Atlanta Beltline: The Country's Best Smart Growth Story

I recently read a story updating progress on Atlanta's Beltline, an ambitious project and the largest, most wide-ranging urban redevelopment currently underway in the United States. The Beltline will combine greenspace, trails, transit and new development along 22 miles of historic rail segments that encircle the urban core. Learning more about this great example of smart growth in our neighboring city is worth the time. Click HERE for Beltline info and read a great blog with videos on why the Beltline is the country's best smart growth story HERE.
