Today, an official of the Atlanta Regional Commission talks about a public opinion poll that found the vast majority of metro residents are happy where they live and, rather than looking to new construction for future growth, favor redeveloping older areas and living in walkable communities. Also contributing to today's page are builders of two Developments of Excellence recognized by ARC as "cutting-edge, livable designs": A model senior housing project in Decatur, and a pedestrian-friendly new-home community in Woodstock.
