Atlanta
Atlanta and its metropolitan region famously boast one of the most dynamic economies in the United States. It is also, equally, noted for its traffic and infrastructure challenges, as the city and region struggle to provide an infrastructure that can accommodate rapid growth.
Atlanta is recognized for the richness and variety of its urban forest and other natural resource amenities - prized features of the urban environment the region struggles to hold onto even as it expands in population. As a result, the Atlanta metropolitan region offers unparalleled opportunities to study and devise solutions to the infrastructure, land use and environmental planning issues that confront it and most mega-cities the world over.
