The Atlanta City Studio is a pop-up urban design studio within the City of Atlanta Department of City Planning and is managed by the Department’s Office of Design, which includes the City’s Planning, Public Space, and Historic Preservation teams. The Studio’s mission is to provide leadership in the planning and design of our city with the goal of creating an exceptional public realm and, ultimately, a city that all Atlantans can be proud of. The Studio accomplishes this through project-specific design leadership and collaboration, educational programming, and inclusive community engagement. Atlanta City Studio moves to different locations throughout the city, making its work as publicly accessible as possible, allowing residents to play an integral role in the design of our city.
