  • Ansley Mall Ansley Mall
    Ansley Mall Ansley Mall Theme The Ansley Mall node in the Northeast Quadrant is located at the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and Monroe Drive and contains the oldest section of the Beltline. From its earliest settlement as the small farming community of Easton in the mid-1800s to the present day, the area surrounding the node has been composed of single-family residences and the small commercial/retail businesses that grew to serve the surrounding com- munities. The areas surrounding the node represent distinct examples of Atlantaís early population migration in the early 1900s, as the white elite fled the increasing urbanization in the city core and moved to fashionable suburbs north and east of the city. These suburbs became possible as the cityís transportation was transformed from rail to streetcar to automobiles. As early as 1871, trains passed through the Ansley Mall node providing passenger and commercial service along the rail line that would become the Southern Railway (now CSX). Adjacent to the node are some of the most historically significant residential areas in Atlanta, which are virtually intact and remain thriving intown neighborhoods today. Also Early photo of Piedmont Driving Club adjacent to the node are historic early greenspaces such as the Piedmont Driving Club (1887), Piedmont Park (1904), and the Ansley Park Golf Club (1912), which are also significant in Atlantaís development as early public/private suburban parks. Within the node there are three identifiable retail/commercial centers, each representing a distinct period of development. The oldest is a cluster of retail buildings in the 1400 block of Piedmont Avenue located just south of the Piedmont Avenue overpass.

Atlanta, Georgia Cover: The 1895 topographical map of Atlanta and vicinity serves as the background on which railroads and suburbs are highlighted. From the original three railroads of the 1840s evolved the configuration of 1895; since that time, suburban expansion and highway development have dramatically altered the landscape.

  • The Political Economy of Transportation Investment
    Economics of Transportation 13 (2018) 4–26 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Economics of Transportation journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/ecotra The political economy of transportation investment Edward L. Glaeser a, Giacomo A.M. Ponzetto b,* a Harvard University, USA b CREI, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, IPEG and Barcelona GSE, Spain ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT JEL codes: Will politics lead to over-building or under-building of transportation projects? In this paper, we develop a model D72 of infrastructure policy in which politicians overdo things that have hidden costs and underperform tasks whose D82 costs voters readily perceive. Consequently, national funding of transportation leads to overspending, since voters H54 more readily perceive the upside of new projects than the future taxes that will be paid for distant highways. Yet H76 when local voters are well-informed, the highly salient nuisances of local construction, including land taking and R42 noise, lead to under-building. This framework explains the decline of urban mega-projects in the US (Altshuler R53 and Luberoff, 2003) as the result of increasingly educated and organized urban voters. Our framework also Keywords: predicts more per capita transportation spending in low-density and less educated areas, which seems to be Infrastructure empirically correct.
