This report is the work product of a Fall 2009 semester graduate studio course
sponsored by the Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of City and Regional
Planning. The Atlanta Renewal Communities, Inc. (ACoRA) issued a Request For
Proposals (RFP) in February 2009 to which Dr. Etienne responded with a Technical
Proposal that proposed a scope of work that included: An assessment of housing conditions in the High Point,
Joyland, and Chosewood Park neighborhoods; Detailed demographic profiles for each neighborhood; An inventory of neighborhood institutions and businesses; The gathering of community input through organized
meetings. Following this neighborhood analysis, we provide recommendations for the
issues we identified, with a particular emphasis on potential opportunities for federal
stimulus funding
