Where Atlanta Comes Together
The Atlanta Beltline is one of the largest, most wide-ranging urban redevelopment programs in the United States. This network of public parks, multi-use trails, transit, and affordable housing along a historic 22-mile railroad corridor is enhancing mobility, connecting intown neighborhoods, and improving economic opportunity and sustainability.
Our Mission
We are building a more equitable and inclusive Atlanta and engaging partners by delivering transformative public infrastructure that enhances mobility, fosters culture, and improves connections to economic opportunity.
The Evolution of the Atlanta Beltline
From the beginning, the Atlanta Beltline has offered transformative development to the City of Atlanta. Originating in the early 2000s, this visionary urban redevelopment project repurposes a historic railway corridor, weaving trails, parks, and transit options to enhance community, economic mobility, and cultural connections.

Everyone Belongs on the Beltline
All legacy residents, new residents, and business owners — regardless of age, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, ability, income, or political ideology — benefit and prosper from the economic growth and activity associated with the Atlanta Beltline.
As we move forward, we must always recognize the history of this place and understand our obligations to those who came before. This project — and all of Atlanta, in fact — is situated on the traditional homelands of the Muscogee Creek and Cherokee Peoples. We acknowledge these original stewards of this land, and we respect and honor their cultures and traditions.
Beltline Explained
The Atlanta Beltline is a catalyst for making Atlanta a global beacon for equitable, inclusive, and sustainable city life. In our Explainer Series videos, we provide overview information about various program elements.
Learn how the Beltline was conceived and find out details about who is responsible for managing its progress, what all goes into its various program elements, when it will be completed, where it is happening, and why it is considered the most ambitious redevelopment project in the history of Atlanta.
Learn about the many different ways that money is generated to pay for this transformative project. Major capital investments like the Atlanta Beltline require diverse funding sources, and strategic partnerships have been created with many private and public entities.
Learn about the process that goes into creating the infrastructure itself, including: securing the land on which to build, engaging with the community to determine trail configuration and preferred amenities, assessing environmental impacts and topographical challenges, and using best practices to complete trail and rail segments that will meet the needs of the community for generations to come.
Learn how the Beltline is creating better mobility across our city. The Beltline vision includes much more than multi-use trails and greenspace; it is a transportation corridor designed to help people move about, get to work, and gain access to essential needs and services. We will demonstrate the role transit plays in making this possible, when and where it will be built, and how it can transform Atlanta into a 21st-century model for urban connectivity.

Find out what "affordability" means when we talk about the Atlanta Beltline. The answer lies in "Area Median Income" or AMI. Think of AMI as a measuring stick for income levels in a broad region. It's calculated annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and helps cities like Atlanta assess their affordable housing needs.
