Building Metropolitan Atlanta

How does a major metropolis evolve? And where is this one--Atlanta and its sprawling region--likely to go? This 180-page book includes full-color plans, photographs, and information on the region's best historic and new urban communities, including details on many of the sites featured on tours at the 2010 Congress. Dozens of articles from planners, academics, and analysts paint a detailed picture of the Atlanta region, from architecture and development successes to public health and social issues.
