See that's why I love Dallas. The projects are always so ambitious. Really look transformative for the area.
Cool video +1
It is ambitious. It actually surprised me tbh. I guess I didn’t fully realize that the entertainment district would be car free. Connecting it the original section of the Convention Center - The Dallas Memorial Auditorium and the Black Academy of Arts and Letters. I’m glad they’re preserving that historic venue.

Let's get this straight, that's most definitely not what I said if you are going to quote me, get it correct.
Oh is that right atadytic? So you didn't say a few blocks in either side of one spine or that Atlanta is so disconnected or disjointed?

Atlanta just doesn't have the grid for uniform urban development
I'm not the only one that noticed the shade thrown at Atlanta. Even Arcenal made that same observation.

Atlanta's core is not at all linear like some here make it out to be. The skyline, maybe. And even that is debatable. But there is much more to an urban core than just a skyline.
Atlanta's core is by far the most built out of the three.
Yet I hate Houston all because I think Atlanta is more urban in it's core than Houston is? LOL
Atlanta may feel more urban than Houston, however Dallas is probably the most urban. Atlanta's like 100 small towns all butted up against each other.
I lived in Atlanta 10 years, and it's spread out so far. Dallas is too very spread out, but you can see with the eye how there's more money in Dallas' office buildings, apartments and other big buildings.
Houston is also like a bunch of different cities, but in population it's probably larger than Dallas/Fort Worth and Atlanta.
They're all too large for me. I overdosed on Atlanta traffic and got out in 2002.
Yeah, Atlanta feels more urban than Houston does. Out of all the sunbelt cities, Atlanta feels like the most Northeastern like city.
Well even though I still say Atlanta's core is closer to Houston or Dallas than it is to a Northeastern City, it would resemble most like a Northeastern city as it is older than the Texas two. The Texas two feels more like Western cities than it does Northeastern cities.

Agree with this, after finally visiting. They really should redevelop some neighborhoods(like Home Park) into upmarket townhouses from the detached SFH’s they currently have.
Just thought I’d share this since this will be the tallest building in Uptown proper when completed at 450 ft. It is the last developable site adjacent to Klyde Warren Park
The development is designed to include a 30-story office tower with ground-floor retail. A second phase would have a hotel.
The $200 million first phase of Parkside Uptown is scheduled to start in midyear, according to planning documents filed with the state.
“Project is for a 30-story podium style tower with underground parking,” the filing with the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation says. “Ground floor would incorporate retail and restaurant uses.”

I could see that comparison for Atlanta. A denser core and low density burbs is exactly how Boston is set up.
Although Atlanta's core is more like the Texas cities (including Austin).

Only a few parts of downtown and midtown atl resemble a NE city. That and the heavy rail. Besides these things I'm not seeing how Atlanta looks like a NE city other than geography. Ironically the ATL suburbs with how spaced out/rural they feel is the closest resemblance of a NE feel in the Atlanta metro.
