    Fostering a Culture of Vision: 70 Years of Atlanta Leadership 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 1 9 4 1 vision and leadership This report represents a year of reflection and celebration of the co-dynamics of vision and leadership that are the sustaining values for Downtown Atlanta. More than any external pressure, Atlanta’s leaders were driven to improve and build this city by their deep desire and pride to see things better for all who lived, worked or visited here. Our bent toward hospitality and community were deeply held by those who were born here and readily adopted by those who moved here. Strong committed leadership is a rare commodity in today’s world, but in the midst of all of the changes in Atlanta since 1941, that virtue has remained our cornerstone. Being a transportation hub makes Atlanta a valuable asset for multiple stakeholders, including Mayor Hartsfield, pictured here. When Atlanta’s leaders banded together in 1941, there was a belief that to achieve its potential, our city needed strategic and responsible investment so that all would benefit. Pictured: Peachtee Street in 1941. 1941 1946 1952 1957 The Central Atlanta Improvement Association (CAIA) is chartered. At CAIA’s request, the Georgia General Delta Air Lines decides to make Assembly enacts legislation to build Atlanta its home.
