The Peachtree Street Corridor is eight and a half miles of road and surrounding real estate in the geographic heart of Atlanta, Georgia. It is also the financial heart of the city. According to a 2014 study by the Bleakly Advisory Group, the corridor occupies less than 4% of the land in the city, yet it accounts for over a third of the real estate value. The area also provides over half of all Atlanta’s jobs and nearly three-quarters of all professional, science and technology jobs. It is home to 10% of the city’s population, disproportionately Millennials and Gen Xers. It is a young, wealthy and dynamic area.
The Midtown Alliance and Central Atlanta Progress are actively pursuing long-term strategies to make this corridor even more vibrant.

Kaida uses a different tone. It sounds more as acceptance of everything

In the book “Code of the Street” introduction, the author Elijah Anderson gives you an outlook on how a city can go from wealth and poverty in just five miles. Anderson’s ethnographic portrayal of urban life in black America through a journey down Philadelphia’s historic Germantown Ave, which connects the appreciation of newly suburban Chestnut Hill and Philly’s main line with the generally less civil society of Germantown proper and its outlying ghetto’s, where a code of the street old as poverty and oppression itself governs the interactions of both willing and unwilling members.
