Downtown Atlanta was once the center of the city’s cultural and economic life, but decades of decline left much of it underused. Now, a $5 billion redevelopment project known as Centennial Yards aims to transform a 50 acre site called the Gulch into a new hub for housing, entertainment, and business.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching and billions at stake, the project raises a central question: can this effort restore lasting vitality to the heart of Atlanta?
