The analysis of the report is based upon the five case study areas—Atlanta Road / Marietta Boulevard, Fairburn, Fulton Industrial Boulevard, Gwinnett County, and Henry County— determined by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC). This study is part of a larger effort to address freight mobility needs in the Atlanta region.

It includes the transformation of a 22-mile loop of freight rail to parks, trails, transit, and residential and commercial developments. The project has been viewed as a springboard for a new vision for the City of Atlanta, one of greenspace, walkability, high-quality infill development, transit, and healthy communities. With funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, CQGRD, with technical assistance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, undertook an Health Impact Assessment (HIA) of the BeltLine to make health a part of the decision-making process.

These MegaRegions are extended networks of metropolitan centers and the surrounding areas. They often cross county and state lines and are linked by transportation and communication networks. The southeastern United States has been identified as an emerging MegaRegion, where recent and projected settlement patterns and infrastructure systems are enhancing important social, economic, and environmental links between the many parts of the region.
