Please join us in 2003 for an exciting conference in one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas... Atlanta, Georgia. Come Prepared to experience the resurgence of downtown Atlanta's commercial and residential development, the area's unique approach to mixed-use development (one of the boldest brownfield developments in the nation), and many examples of local smart growth projects. Among the hundreds of topics this year are public health links to livable communities and how the changing face of metropolitan regions, large and small, affects future investments.
