- Description:
- Atlantic Station, a development on the west side of Atlanta, was built on a reclaimed brownfield and designed according to the principles of New Urbanism, an architectural movement that offers an alternative to the suburban, automobile-dependent lifestyle.
Photograph of Atlantic Station, a development in midtown Atlanta, Georgia. A multi-story apartment complex featuring varying colors and roof lines rises behind a pond surrounded by newly planted trees. A statue sits on a grassy plot in the foreground. A sidewalk surrounds this lawn area, and a metal bench sits near the statue.
This development is designed according to the principles of New Urbanism, which is a late-twentieth-century architectural and urban design movement that promotes the revitalization of downtown and main streets, structures new development as real neighborhoods, and encourages the conservation of natural environments and the preservation of our built legacy through the creation or restoration of pedestrian-responsive and diverse compact towns and cities. - Metadata URL:
