The city of Atlanta is holding a community conversation about its current issues and how to make the city stronger 6-8 p.m. March 15 at MARTA headquarters, 2424 Piedmont Rd. N.E., in the bid room. The event is the last in a series of recent public sessions.

Atlanta is part of the Resilient Cities program launched by the Rockefeller Foundation to help municipalities become more resilient to physical, social and economic challenges.

A Resilient Atlanta survey is also available, which people are encouraged to share with their own social networks. Citizens' input will help the city decide the top priorities for Atlanta's resilience work, kicking off in the fall.
