No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

When asked to lead a team from Georgia Tech in speculating what Atlanta would look like in 100 years, Professor Ellen Dunham-Jones insisted on three important concepts. The team envisioned what Atlanta would look like with transit on every corridor, eco-acre transfers, and 1,000 foot-buffers on every stream corridor. "We’re seeing cities like Atlanta have problems with drought and flooding," said Dunham-Jones. "And we’re fighting water wars with our neighbors. We need to get much more serious about protecting our water."
