If it's the Southeast, it's Atlanta. If it's the South in general. It's a mix of four cities (Miami, Houston, Atlanta, Dallas). If it's the entire sunbelt, there is simply no main city.
I feel like this question can go two ways. If the question is which is the most global city in the South, it's Houston. But if you are asking which is the "center of the South" it goes tin atlanta because Atlanta definitely the South. Some cities here like Houston, Dallas and Miami have southern influence but nothing like being in the Deep South like Atlanta.

Houston has more in common with the deep south than Atlanta. Atlanta is more pedimont southern.

Atlanta is seen as more unquestionably Southern, but the "Deep South" thing is questionable, depending on how the region is defined. At the least, it can be said that Atlanta is located well within the interior of the South while the other cities are located more along the fringes of the region and thus have more extra-regional influences.

This!
Atlanta has a huge pull among a large area of the south. However Houston and Dallas' pull is even greater but falls out into other regions. especially Dallas which is almost a 1/3 west, 1/3 (plains) and 1/3 south/southeast.

I suppose LA. I can also see arguments for why it's not a full-blown sunbelt city.

The term "Sun Belt" was coined back in the late 1960's by author Kevin Phillips. His direct definition was the southern 1/3 of the US from Florida to California, so unless the definition has changed over the years I don't see how it's not a "full-blown" sun belt city.

Do not agree with this at all.
