How Atlanta’s BeltLine Is Revitalizing the City for Meetings and Events
Skift Take
Atlanta’s BeltLine loop has already transformed the way meeting and event attendees can experience the city, and will continue to do so as the project continues to develop through 2030.
Atlanta is known for its intown neighborhoods, each with its own personality and unique vibe. A common thread that unites the communities is Atlanta BeltLine, a former railway corridor turned pedestrian path around the core of the city.
The BeltLine, one of the largest transportation projects in Atlanta's history and one of the most ambitious sustainable redevelopment projects taking place in the United States right now, has transformed the landscape of the city. As of today, Atlanta BeltLine comprises 22 miles of unused railroad tracks circling 45 of the city’s in-town neighborhoods. By the time the BeltLine is complete in 2030, it will provide a 33-mile network of multi-use trails and walkways, open green space, and restored parks, as well as access to outdoor art installations, restaurants and breweries, and art galleries and shopping, to locals and visitors alike. The BeltLine shouldn’t have any problem living up to its slogan, “Where Atlanta Comes Together.”
