I was referring to the urban parts of the city.Yes its true the neighborhoods are very similar but Charlotte doesnt have areas like Fairlie Poplar, Sweet Auburn,Castleberry Hill.
I specifically said the "City of Atlanta" and the :suburbs" meaning neighborhoods.Also why I said architecture of "buildings'.
I should have been more clear I was refering to the CBD which of course is very different
I agree that downtown Atlanta proper and those adjacent areas are more historic and gritty than what you see in the core of Charlotte. Uptown Charlotte is more like Midtown Atlanta in that sense.
Streets of Buckhead main components are done but the area around it is now being developed as part of a cohesive area. Highrises are being built on every side.
I work up near Buckhead Atlanta, they are building up on Paces Ferry as I sit at my desk. But it seems to be small addition..
When I visited Avalon, it seem completed. Didn’t see any construction. And I thought pinewood was already completed. I’m so out of the loop.
I am very impressed with Midtown, heading down Spring St. through the tech area has really sprung up on the street level. Not too long ago, everything seemed concentrated on Peachtree.

It use to be easy to mistake the Midtown skyline for uptown Charlotte. Definitely agree here.

True. That area is changing quickly. A lot of cranes.
If ‘The Stitch’ between Atlanta Midtown and Downtown gets green lighted. Game changer.
Miami isn't growing as much as it was in the early 2010's. In fact, in the state of Florida, Orlando and Tampa outgrew Miami in both raw numbers and percentage wise (last census).
I would switch Miami and Atlanta.
Hmm, not sure which year splits you are using, but Miami metro area for the most part is significantly outgrowing Tampa and Orlando metros in raw numbers.
Anyway I agree Atlanta and Miami are very close and I wasn't using any quantifiable formula to compare them, just my personal feel. Looking back over the OP carefully I can see this tilting slightly in ATL's favor depending on perspective. All categories are quite even and debatable except for "economic importance and stability" which is solidly better in ATL. So there ya go
