Race, Class, And Gentrification Along The Atlanta Beltline, Natalie Camrud
Race, Class, And Gentrification Along The Atlanta Beltline, Natalie Camrud
Scripps Senior Theses
This thesis examines issues of affordability and gentrification in neighborhoods around the Atlanta BeltLine. The BeltLine is a Transit Oriented Development project that is an adaptive reuse of an old freight rail corridor circling the city of Atlanta. The rapid new development occurring along the BeltLine is gentrifying neighborhoods and displacing communities. This thesis examines past urban redevelopment projects in Atlanta to see what the affects were on marginalized communities, and how the BeltLine is either similar or different to past development initiatives.
