    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

  • The Politics of Atlanta's Public Housing
    THE POLITICS OF ATLANTA’S PUBLIC HOUSING: RACE, PLANNING, AND INCLUSION, 1936-1975 By AKIRA DRAKE A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School – New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Planning and Public Policy Written under the direction of James DeFilippis And approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey MAY, 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Politics of Atlanta’s Public Housing: Race, Planning, and Inclusion, 1936-1975 By AKIRA DRAKE Dissertation Director: James DeFilippis The purpose of this research is threefold: to theorize the political viability of the public housing development as a political opportunity structure; to understand the creation, marginalization, and demolition of this political opportunity structure in Atlanta; and to explicate the movements from within the public housing development that translated to a more empowered residential base, and more livable communities in Atlanta, GA between the 1936 and 1975. The literature on the positive productive functions of public housing is interspersed within the literature on the politics of public housing policies (at the national level), the politics of public housing developments (at the local level), the production of a racial geography in the City of Atlanta, and the productive functions of welfare institutions (including, but not limited to, public housing developments). Further, this project attempts to understand empirical benefits of political opportunity structures, particularly as it relates to low-income and minority housing movements in the city of Atlanta. Theoretically, political opportunity structures provide a neutral platform for low-income city dwellers that have historically been denied the legal means to challenge neighborhood change, and participate in formal urban political processes ii and institutions.

  • Boone Boulevard Green Infrastructure Conceptual Design
    2012 GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM City of Atlanta Atlanta, GA Boone Boulevard Green Infrastructure Conceptual Design MARCH 2014 Photo: Street-side bioretention EPA 830-R-14-001 About the Green Infrastructure Technical Assistance Program Stormwater runoff is a major cause of water pollution in urban areas. When rain falls in undeveloped areas, the water is absorbed and filtered by soil and plants. When rain falls on our roofs, streets, and parking lots, however, the water cannot soak into the ground. In most urban areas, stormwater is drained through engineered collection systems and discharged into nearby waterbodies. The stormwater carries trash, bacteria, heavy metals, and other pollutants from the urban landscape, polluting the receiving waters. Higher flows also can cause erosion and flooding in urban streams, damaging habitat, property, and infrastructure. Green infrastructure uses vegetation, soils, and natural processes to manage water and create healthier urban environments. At the scale of a city or county, green infrastructure refers to the patchwork of natural areas that provides habitat, flood protection, cleaner air, and cleaner water. At the scale of a neighborhood or site, green infrastructure refers to stormwater management systems that mimic nature by soaking up and storing water. These neighborhood or site-scale green infrastructure approaches are often referred to as low impact development. EPA encourages the use of green infrastructure to help manage stormwater runoff. In April 2011, EPA renewed its commitment to green infrastructure with the release of the Strategic Agenda to Protect Waters and Build More Livable Communities through Green Infrastructure. The agenda identifies technical assistance as a key activity that EPA will pursue to accelerate the implementation of green infrastructure.

The district is designed to retain property in the City of Atlanta that has a current or former industrial use. The adoption of the district is consistent with the goals set forth in the 2016 Comprehensive Development Plan. Since adoption, however, it has been found that the 30% floor area industrial requirement prevents the district from being used. Given the current floor plate of industrial uses and the permitted principal uses that are allowed by the district the zoning classification is not being utilized. It is essential to sustain industrial areas because they play a significant role in the City’s economy and supports the need of an urban environment.

  • Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl Parade
    Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl Parade On December 4th, the decision was finally made and the opponents in the “Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl” have been decided and they are: #1 Alabama and #4 Washington. Based on that information the parade will be Saturday morning, December 31st, stepping off at 9:00 AM. For that reason we will be pre-staging in the parking lot of “The 120 Tavern & Music Hall”, 1440 Roswell Rd. (rt. 120), across from Williamson Bros. BBQ at 7:15AM for a prompt departure and caravan to our staging area at 7:30 AM. That will get us to the staging area in front of Max Lager’s restaurant, 320 Peachtree St. NE by 8:00 AM. Since Chris and I will be out of the country this year and unable to participate in this event, we have enlisted the help of Herb & Sharon Guck to finalize the pre- parade organization of our group. Dawn Norman has agreed to lead the group/caravan to the staging area. As previously mentioned, this year will be a first in Atlanta as we are hosting one of the semi-final games, and with Alabama being one of the teams, the attendance is expected to be OVER THE TOP!!!! We can still use a few more convertibles or Corvettes with removable roofs so if you are inclined to participate in this event we ask you to signup NOW on the Classic Glass website by going HERE. In order that we may have an accurate count on the cars needed, you must sign up there to be counted.
