I dont know what's up with Dee...Houston has one of the best skylines in the country while Dee brags about 4 story apartment complexes in Nac. Just for the record he's from Nac so don't lump Lufkin in with Dee.
Atlanta has Tech, Georgia State and a branch of SCAD within it's immediate core alone. Within a 5-7 mile radius, you have Morehouse, Spellman, and Emory. I think it rates pretty high as far as universities.
To be fair, this goes for all four cities. Miami's is overrated in this sense here. It's dense but that's all it is. Outside of Miami Beach and areas close to the beach in Miami, the metro is heavily suburban in nature. Regarding Houston, the core is actually larger than Dallas and Atlanta I believe. I could be wrong. Also, they do have some interesting hoods surrounding downtown.
Houston only has the 2 square mile Downtown area. Atlanta has the 3 square mile downtown area and a 2 square mile Midtown area. You can add the urban neighborhoods that hug downtown too like Sweet Auburn, Old 4th ward, Atlantic Station, and Castlebury hill.
Area in the black is Downtown and area in blue is Midtown...the whole area in red is what I would consider to be the urban core of Atlanta.
Meanwhile, Downtown Atlanta was crowded as hell today. I don't know if there's a convention or event going on in town, but it was a ton of stuff going on. Peachtree Center area had massive crowds. People were on the streets dressed up in cartoon characters and stuff.
It's really starting to make me believe Atlanta really does get 37 million tourist a year.

That looks like a penis.
Anyway, i consider the urban core of Houston to be downtown, down to midtown, down to museum district, down to Binz, diwn to the medical center down to smithlands down to Reliant Park. Then going north from downtown i would say it extends past Northline. Then east it would go past east downtown towards magnolia. Then going west i would include montrose, 4th ward, washington avenue, upper kirby, allen parkway.
This corridor has most of the inner loops population

lol, I was just waiting to see if the first person who responded would say something
Most of that looks suburban....are you serious? And medical center is a massive jump from downtown...none of it is really connected to each other. Everything I included is urban with no suburb neighborhoods...You walk or take transit to anywhere in that red blob...you added a hella load of suburban neighborhoods...basically the whole loop...if that was the urban core, we'd be talking about Houston being compared to Chicago and SF.
You don't see me adding Buckhead because to me, it's hardly connected.
