Perhaps In this poll since Toronto is the only N.A city on the list (other than M.C which is more different from ATL than TOR) obviously. That said, in the N.A landscape they are quite different as Toronto has one of the highest density urban cores on the continent whereas Atlanta has one of the lowest as far as large N.A cities go.
ATL is more comparable to other American sunbelt cities with fast growing but VERY sprawly low density metro areas like Dallas, Phoenix and Houston.
Why in the world would you make a poll with so many off base options?
Paris, really? Rome, even more, really? I think a better title would be "Which of these cities is the least similar to Atlanta"
Well Georgia as a whole is said to look like Italy, so Atlanta being the capital and the largest city is why it could be matched with Rome. Rome's public transportation system is considered sub par by European standards. There only 2 subway lines and a streetcar system, but still sadly it is a few steps above Atlanta's. There is intercity travel on high speed rail, but in Italy everything is unreliable. I once took a train from Venice to Milan and it was an hour and a half behind schedule. That is like something that would happen with Atlanta's MARTA trains.
Overall Milan might be a better match for Atlanta, as far as the architecture in it's CDB that has the modern look. It's really the only Italian city that has tall buildings, although Naples has a few high rises.

I cannot fathom how you can say you have been to Italy, and claim it looks like Georgia. Italy is a country of stunning natural beauty and architecture. Georgia has natural beauty, yes - but it is in no way comparable to Italy.
And comparing Atlanta to Rome, even the modern parts of Rome, is absurd. Atlanta looks like none of the cities on this self-aggrandizing list. Atlanta is Atlanta, and that should be enough.
P.S. If you post was meant as satire, then I apologize to missing the humor.

Agreed. I wonder if the poster has ever been to Italy or any of the cities on that list...
Atlanta pales in beauty to several American cities let alone international ones.
Unless this is a thread to make Atlanta look bad, the poster has a skewed view of the world.

Italy and Roma aren't like Georgia, at all... I would like to know why this comparison is made
