Building a City Within the City of Atlanta
The NY Times
By Lisa Chamberlain
A city within a city? A mixed-use utopia called "Atlantic Station?" One academic quips, "You have apartmentville, retail town and office town." Is this a sneak preview of Bruce Ratner's plans for world domination?
Actually, it's in Atlanta; it's bigger (but way less dense) than Atlantic Yards; and incorporates the work of different architects (as opposed to Gehryland). However, like Atlantic Station's cousins, Atlantic Terminal and Atlantic Center, national chains proliferate.
How did a polluted steel mill site get a second chance?
