"For 20 years, the so-called 'crossroads of the South' has been a boomtown awash in jobs, money and growth. Now the consequences of that growth are catching up with Atlantans, forcing residents to make some difficult lifestyle decisions: Long commutes or smaller houses? Good schools or more time with the kids? Crowded roads or public transportation? Clean air and water or unrestricted economic growth?" The feature also includes a fascinating virtual reality image of the heat island caused by Atlant's growth.
