Study of Atlanta Growth Patterns and Mass Transit
Clearing the air in Atlanta:
Transit and smart growth or conventional economics?
By Alain Bertaud

The above study is available at the World Bank Group website in their Urban Development section. The author is from Europe, lives in DC., and favors urban living and mass transit, yet this report is a refreshingly honest assessment of Atlanta's growth patterns. The wisdom of trying to force mass transit on the typical urban densities and consumer preferences of American cities and citizens are analysed. Alain Bertaud arrived at some very interesting and familiar conclusions.
