The document discusses Ryan Gravel's presentation at the Urban Leaders Summit in Detroit, Michigan on November 8, 2010. It focuses on the Atlanta BeltLine, a project to convert a 22-mile railroad corridor circling Atlanta into a multi-use trail incorporating parks, affordable housing, and transit. The BeltLine aims to address problems created by urban sprawl and change how Atlanta thinks about transportation, economic development, and greenspace. It also references other examples of infrastructure projects that shaped cities, such as Paris' redesign by Haussmann and New York's development under Robert Moses and Jane Jacobs.
