Pardon the shameless plug, but if you are interested in what has been happening in Atlanta lately and want to get more background on the recent political economy of the city, I might recommend my recent book, #RedHotCity.

Red Hot City
An incisive examination of how growth-at-all-costs planning and policy have exacerbated inequality and racial division in Atlanta. Atlanta, the capital of the American South, is at the red-hot core of expansion, inequality, and political relevance. In recent decades, central Atlanta has experienced heavily racialized gentrification while the suburbs have become more diverse, with many affluent suburbs trying to push back against this diversity.
