Cities enable us to live, work and play together. And their success depends on the demand for physical connection, creating an environment where people want to be. Midtown Alliance's staff of nearly 50 people and our allied partners are on the job every day to make Midtown an exceptional urban place - clean, safe, navigable and brimming with activity - with an eye toward continuous improvement.

That's the number of fun community events coming your way this year in outdoor publicly accessible spaces, building upon the 2023 calendar that brought you yoga instruction, movie nights, music performances and more.

That's the total amount of investment coming to public improvement projects that will be active in 2024, from new traffic signals to a new street connection on 15th Street, bike lanes, plaza enhancements and more. Keep up with the status of all these and other ongoing projects at MidtownATL.com/Projects.
