What is the Atlanta BeltLine, and how does it propose to change urban Atlanta?
What will be an ideal response?
The BeltLine is an attempt by Atlanta at "smart growth" by recovering an abandoned rail and industrial corridor and turning it into a pedestrian-friendly trail and transit loop that connects the major portions of the city together. This type of project changes a city by providing green gathering space (which makes the city more livable), creates transit, creates jobs, and increases the city's tax base.
