Attempts by Atlanta leadership to annex the area encountered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/12\/09\/upshot\/atlanta-suburbs-democratic-shift.html\">fierce resistance<\/a>.\u00a0 Sandy Springs remained an unincorporated area of Fulton County for over 40 years until voters overwhelmingly approved to incorporate the city in 2005.\r\n\r\nToday, Sandy Springs is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/life\/private-quarters\/report-sandy-springs-is-the-no-25-growth-city-in-america\/H3CVO327WJH5DIRBEDEYCFIYYM\/\">fastest-growing cities<\/a> in the Atlanta metro area. Half the city\u2019s housing stock is apartments, making it an attractive alternative to young people who can\u2019t afford Atlanta\u2019s rising home prices. Only a few cities in the US have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/pulse\/sandy-springs-among-top-10-cities-millennials-are-moving-to\/6JTQJLO47ZCMFEBVCOB6EQBWMU\/\">more Millennial new residents<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThe city\u2019s leadership embraces this growth and strives to build the kind of city these newer arrivals desire, ensuring that rapid growth does not jeopardize existing communities. This commitment to inclusivity and balance requires a constant dialog with those who run the city and the residents they serve. A geographic approach, utilizing smart maps generated with geographic information system (GIS) technology, is instrumental in helping city planners visualize, communicate, and moderate this discussion."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":671162,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h3><strong>Navigating the Crossroads<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThe Crossroads neighborhood, a vibrant community centered around the intersection of Georgia State Route 9 and I-285, is a compelling case study in the city's diligent efforts to balance interests of residents and newcomers. This neighborhood is a microcosm of the city's diversity and the challenges it faces in managing growth while preserving unique character.\r\n\r\nThe west side of State Route 9 is home to a Hispanic community with deep roots in Sandy Springs. \u201cA big concern is gentrification and the threat of being priced out of existing communities,\u201d said Tyler Lents, a GIS expert who works for the City of Sandy Springs.\r\n\r\nCrossroads is the location of The Prado, a large shopping area that includes offerings such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopprado.com\/store\/life-time-work\/\">Life Time Work<\/a>, which bills itself as \u201cNorth Atlanta\u2019s only integrated coworking space and health club experience designed with your mental and physical health in mind.\u201d Across the street from the mall is El Taco Veloz 2, an outpost of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wIwQWKm0CF0\">Atlanta\u2019s oldest taqueria<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThat geographic juxtaposition\u2014an established local institution and a work\/wellness facility for remote office workers\u2014hints at the growth-related challenges Crossroads residents and the City of Sandy Springs must navigate.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":671132,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"Lents uses US Census data and GIS technology to reveal how certain inequities within Sandy Springs\u2014such as poverty and lack of insurance\u2014are concentrated within Crossroads.\r\n\r\n\u201cI knew much of that would show up there, but it\u2019s easier to see if it\u2019s mapped,\u201d he said.\r\n\r\nThe maps he created helped public safety officials understand the connection between geography and vulnerability. For example, the maps revealed, in stark terms, the large number of households at risk from flooding by Long Island Creek, a tributary of the Chattahoochee River.\r\n\r\nIn early 2023, local officials began holding community meetings to discuss Crossroads's future. To promote transparency and build consensus, the city made 3D maps available, allowing residents to visualize proposed changes.\r\n\r\nThese events culminated in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandyspringsga.gov\/crossroads-small-area-plan\">Crossroads Small Area Plan<\/a>, adopted by the City Council in December. It detailed how the city plans to protect and rehabilitate neighborhood housing stock, increase open space, improve walkability, and promote mixed-use zoning.\r\n\r\nSome of the recommendations are uncontroversial. Few would object to improving pedestrian safety around Roswell Road, especially for kids who walk under the I-285 overpass to reach their school.\r\n\r\nHowever, residents can be concerned about rezoning. Community members want to know what the city means when it encourages mixed-use development. For example, color-coded 3D GIS maps helped the residents visualize proposed changes by displaying how the neighborhood looks now and how it will look in the future.\r\n\r\nSeparately, planners and consultants confer to address issues of unease, modifying a 3D geospatial digital twin of Crossroads. As modifications are made, previous versions are automatically saved to be compared to new ones. This helps planners, consultants, and community members attain a shared vision.\r\n<h3><strong>A Model Green<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nA mile up Route 9, on the other side of I-285, significant changes are coming to the area around City Hall. The City Green refers to a large grassy area in front of City Hall that hosts outdoor concerts in the summer, a \u201csparkle parade\u201d during the winter holidays, and a farmer's market on Saturdays during spring and summer.\r\n\r\nA block or so away, the city is working with its preferred development partner to refine plans for the area. Some buildings will have street-level retail spaces and apartments on the upper floors. A hotel is also under consideration."},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[662882,662892,662902,662912]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"As with Crossroads, some people in the area have expressed worries about altering the neighborhood. Residents who reside in the area\u2019s apartments, for example, were concerned that new buildings might obstruct their view.\r\n\r\n\u201cWhen people hear a term like \u2018mixed-use development,\u2019 they can sometimes think \u2018oh no, I don\u2019t want that,'\u201d said Bridget Lawlor, GIS manager for the City of Sandy Springs. \u201cBut when we can show them that we can make it look attractive and functional, that often helps.\u201d\r\n\r\nRealistic GIS models of the plans help skeptics visualize the plans.\r\n\r\n\u201cWhenever we were doing the conceptual model for the City Green area, I used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-cityengine\/overview\">ArcGIS CityEngine<\/a> to add facades to the building, to give a realistic feel of what this will look like,\u201d Lents said. \u201cAnd we use these things as modes of communication so that other people can see the plans visually intuitively.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cIncluding the facades means the buildings don\u2019t just look like Lego bricks,\u201d Lawlor added. \u201cPutting in things like trees, benches, and streetlights makes a world of difference.\u201d\r\n\r\nBy angling the perspective, the models can even reveal whether viewsheds are blocked.\r\n\r\nOther GIS tools simulate the likely effects development will have on the city. \u201cWith the out-of-the-box metrics <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-urban\/overview\">ArcGIS Urban<\/a> comes with, we can look at population changes, jobs added, potential power usage\u2014pretty much anything city management and the City Council might be interested in,\u201d Lawlor said.\r\n<h3><strong>An Ongoing Transformation<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn addition to Crossroads and City Green, departments across the city use GIS technology as a guide, a visualizer, and a communications tool.\r\n\r\nOn the north side of town, developers are overhauling an old strip mall. \u201cWe like it when they send us plans that we can just pull into CityEngine, look at what\u2019s there, and overlay the new development,\u201d Lents said. \u201cSo, if they wanted to propose something and show it to the public, the public has a way to see what it could be versus what it is now.\u201d\r\n\r\nCycling and walking have become more common ways to get around town, so the city is working to add miles of connected paths, trails, and boardwalks. As the work progresses, Lawlor\u2019s team makes changes to GIS maps.\r\n\r\n\u201cEver since the city became its own entity, there\u2019s been a lot more interest in families being able to walk places,\u201d Lawlor said. \u201cIt just shows how generations have changed.\u201d\r\n\r\nAmid all the changes, GIS helps city leaders ensure the town doesn\u2019t lose desirable aspects of its past, such as green space. Lawlor has recently used GIS and artificial intelligence (AI) derived <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nearmap.com\/us\/en\/products\/ai-aerial-maps?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=organic\">tree canopy analysis from Nearmap<\/a>. \u201cWe compared our traditional method with the AI, and we found that AI was much more accurate,\u201d Lawlor said. \u201cMoving forward, we\u2019re just using AI.\u201d\r\n\r\nMuch of the city\u2019s tree canopy loss, she\u2019s discovered, is occurring near where I-285 is being widened. A half-century later, the expressway that pulled Sandy Springs into Atlanta\u2019s orbit is still shaping the city. But now, city planners have the tools to observe how and where such changes impact residents.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLearn more about how <a
