There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. 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

Researchers have found that neighborhoods with good walkability have fared better in the recovering housing and commercial property markets. This fact comes as no surprise to Ellen Dunham-Jones, a Professor of architecture and urban design at Georgia Tech and author of Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Solutions for Redesigning Suburbs. "We've spent the past 60 years building the post-World War II suburbs," said Dunham-Jones. "I think the big design and development project for the next 50 to 60 years will be retrofitting them."
