Abstract
  • Every day 130 new residents arrive at the doorstep of the Atlanta metropolitan region, which includes 10 counties, two area codes, and 417 census tracts. The metro area reaches northward toward Chattanooga, and the area between the two cities has been called "CHATLANTA" by the Atlanta Journal Constitution. By the year 2020, this region will add approximately 1.2 million people and expand its current boundaries by 500,000 additional acres. As Georgia's population continues to grow, a new way of thinking, new strategies, and new partnerships will be needed to manage the growth. The Georgia Conservancy, in partnership with the Urban Land Institute, the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association, the Atlanta Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation recently launched an ambitious initiative known as Blueprints for Successful Communities to foster public education and facilitate a process for creating successful communities in Georgia. The project was developed to help individuals and groups determine alternative ways of building communities that are truly livable.
