Atlanta MAY become a world class city in about 5-10+ years when these developments/etc are completed....
Streets of Buckhead
The Buckhead Village
Town Brookhaven
Aerotropolis
12th and Midtown
Allen Plaza
Human and Civil Rights Museum
National Health Museum
College HOF Museum
Ga Music HOF (Possible move from Macon)
Ga Aquarium Expansion
Westside Park
180 Peachtree
Trump Towers
Mandarin Oriental
Atlanta Streetcar
180 Peachtree
etc
etc
etc
Redevelopment of Ft McPherson and Ft Gillem in 2011, etc.
What do you think? Once the economy is back up and running Atlanta will be on another level 5+ years afterwards. We still need more rail options besides the Beltline but I think Atlanta is on its way.
I really agree with what you said. However, we actually are already ranked a Beta World City +, which puts us on par with London, LA, Dubai, Washington DC, Geneva, etc.
I hope that these will be green buildings & developments. There is just so much waste that goes on in this world already... why add to it?

I'm just counting down the minutes until some CD comes in here saying one of the following things:
"That list is BS!#@#@!"
"No way Atlanta has a higher profile than Houston/Dallas/Miami/Timbuktu it's SPRAWL LAND"
"Atlanta is not designed around a grid and there aren't as many people walking down the street as there is Manhattan. OBVIOUSLY it's not a world class city"
Starting the countdown now....one one hundred....two one hundred...
Personally, I love Atlanta and have for years. We thought about moving to Atlanta 23 years ago--somehow life always took us other places. Atlanta has never left my thought. Somehow life takes you to where you were meant to be--sometimes sooner rather than later and other times in a very round about way.
I have lived in Miami--and I did not like it. The only thing that makes Miami a world class or cosmopolitan city is the HUGE population of immigrants. Atlanta is a far more beautiful city in every way. I have also lived in Chicago and near Philadelphia. In my eyes Atlanta is far closer to those cities than Miami is or proably ever will be.
What's the GA Aquarium expansion project? Sounds interesting.
