Atlanta

Atlanta is Georgia’s capital and largest city, shaped in part by its role as a transportation hub and by its legacy as host of the 1996 Summer Olympics. Centennial Olympic Park was built for those Games and remains a public green space in downtown Atlanta anchored by permanent artworks and commemorative installations from that period. Downtown’s skyline includes John Portman’s cylindrical Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel, completed in 1976 and long recognized as one of the tallest hotel towers in the world at the time of its construction. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, one of the busiest airports on earth by passenger volume, operates extensive domestic and international terminals with automated passport control and layered security infrastructure.
