Architecture

Atlanta is part of the changing south region in which it is progressing to a more modern society. The city is dominated by significantly tall structures (companies, buildings) that are not applying the style of the traditional old south. High-rise and mid-rise buildings are present in the downtown area and it composes much of the skyline area. Atlanta has been known to structure their buildings in the settings of modern and post modern vintage buildings. Like much of the South, much more modern societies are being structured around company and commercial buildings. The Bank of America Plaza building is the 38th tallest building in the world.


Atlanta's metropolitan area is growing at a rapid pace. Not only is the population increasing but, also the territory is growing in the northwest and northeast. Continued suburban development is increasing as Atlanta is one of the leaders in the progressive growth of the new south. However, there is still a large population living in urban poor neighborhoods. Development in the neighborhood has been ignored and poverty is becoming a major issue.
