Downtown Atlanta 2041 is a speculative look 25 years into the future at the opportunities available to build on
parking lots and create a walkable network of Class A streets and distinctive neighborhoods around Downtown’s
many assets. The design proposals are based on conversations with stakeholders, analysis of current conditions as
well as bold assumptions about the future impact of autonomous vehicles. The work was produced by graduate
students at Georgia Tech in the Master of Science in Urban Design, (MSUD) spring 2016 studio, under the direction
of Professor Ellen Dunham-Jones in the School of Architecture in the College of Design.

What exactly is the relationship between public space and technology? The physical environment grounds our daily operations, providing
meaning and purpose to every decision and destination. As technological
innovations progress, their presence in the built environment becomes even more dominant, transforming not only the individual’s life but also the
space in which they operate. Numerous scenarios emerge for the future of public space, the impacts technology and digital devices will create, and the overall purpose and experience these spaces will provide, some present cases of extreme fear and uncertainty while others bring hope of increased access and equality.

The Planning Studio from Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of City and Regional Planning program conducted a twelve-week studio on several portions of the MARTA Red Line Corridor in Atlanta. The intent of the studio was to examine equitable transit oriented developments, which are a mix of uses within a walkable radius of a transit stop. Various groups were formed to address different MARTA stations or segments of the corridor. The scope of this document address the East Point MARTA station and surrounding downtown area. Concluding recommendations were formed based on research in transportation, development and urban form, placemaking, and economic development.
