Atlanta
is the Capital city of the southeast, a city of the future
with strong ties to its past. The old in new Atlanta is
the soul of the city, the heritage that enhances the quality
of life in a contemporary city. In the turbulent 60's,
Atlanta was "the city too busy to hate." And
today, in the 21st Century, Atlanta is the "city
not too busy to care". In
the past two decades Atlanta has experienced unprecedented
growth -- the official city population remains steady,
at about 420,000, but the metro population has grown
in the past decade by nearly 40%, from 2.9 million to
4.1 million people. A good measure of this growth is
the ever-changing downtown skyline, along with skyscrapers
constructed in the Midtown, Buckhead, and outer perimeter
(fringing I-285) business districts.
