Hi guys here is one awesome community.
THE BETLINE INPACT ON THE CITY OF ATLANTA
In the ’70s and ’80s, the atlanta city center was losing population.The city was unstable and not growing as much.
The development pressure was intense at that point during the recession, and the city was looking for ways to maintain quality of life so the BETLINE IDEA CAME.
The BeltLine plan was originally developed in 1999 as a masters thesis by Georgia Techstudent Ryan Gravel.
So people fell in love with the idea because its going to be a redevelopment of a formerly contaminated community, the plan will spark economic development, community engagement, and new affordable housing options in 45 city neighborhoods.
So how is the Atlanta BeltLine doing now, all these years later?
Pretty well,Gravel’s idea has had a profound effect on Atlanta since its groundbreaking, with major impacts in three areas in particular —economy, health, and transit.
HEALTHIER HABITAT
For example, significant effort has been put into water resources management, including managing storm water, groundwater capture and recapture, and limiting impervious surfaces to reduce runoff.
Another big priority all along the BeltLine has been the development of green space and parks that provide people with “social capital,” an enhancement of quality of life through physical activity and the ability to interact that wouldn’t have happened otherwise.
The BeltLine created spaces with clean and green infrastructure and good air quality, where you have the ability to walk and use your bicycle, saving you trips by car — it creates opportunities to become more physically active,”
It’s my goal to continue following the development of communities like this so we could have a better community
Community building is more than just moving people from point A to point B or conveying water to a sewer. It’s literally the foundation for our economy, our culture, our social life. It enables things to happen or precludes things from happening.
