The low-density residential subdivision development that dominates the Atlanta area has historically not been required to replace lost tree inventory.[citation needed] Because of larger lot sizes and natural-looking architecture such as California contemporary older neighborhoods typically have many mature forest trees except in cases where they have been destroyed by homeowners.[citation needed] Increasing density allowed by zoning since the 1980s has meant fewer and fewer trees left and by the 2000s it became common for developers to completely clearcut dozens of acres of forest and bulldoze all hills flat to build generic tract housing often with tightly packed homes nearly touching each other and up against the street.[citation needed] However over the past decade some area cities and counties have revised their tree ordinances to require tree recompense to be equal to or greater than the pre-development tree density trying to ensure a future tree canopy Rather than leaving trees on each home lot as before this typically involves a set-aside of green space in each development with most other areas still clear-cut Even when some trees are replaced it is with a single type of trees planted the same distance from each other rather than different trees at random placement and age as in the native forest At a rate of 50 acres (20 hectares) per day,[citation needed] the deforestation brought by land development has had a significant impact on area watersheds as they now flood far more rapidly and to a much greater extent than prior to development.[citation needed], Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta, Chipper A report prepared by European Olympic officials after the Games was critical of Atlanta's performance in several key issues including the level of crowding in the Olympic Village the quality of available food the accessibility and convenience of transportation and the Games' general atmosphere of commercialism IOC vice-president Dick Pound defended criticism of the commercialization of these Games stating that they still adhered to a historic policy barring the display of advertising within venues and that "you have to look to the private sector for at least a portion of the funding and unless you're looking for handouts you're dealing with people who are investing business assets and they have to get a return.".

An extinct fault line called the Brevard Fault runs roughly parallel to the Chattahoochee River but as its last movements were apparently prehistoric it is considered extinct and not a threat to the region Still minor earthquakes do rattle the area (and all of Georgia) occasionally One notable one was in April 2003 (magnitude 4.6) coming from the northwest its epicenter just across the state line in northeastern Alabama While many people slept through the 5A.M quake it caused a minor panic in others completely unaware of what was happening Similar earthquakes occur in this region called the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone often felt much more widely across the stronger crust of eastern North America as compared to the west Thus the 1886 Charleston South Carolina earthquake was also felt in Atlanta and throughout the Southeast it caused damage as far as central Alabama and West Virginia Two small earthquakes were also felt on the southeast side near Eatonton in early April 2009 the New Madrid Seismic Zone (near the Missouri-Tennessee borders) and the seismic zone producing the 1886 magnitude 7.3 earthquake are still capable of producing moderate or major earthquakes which the entire Atlanta area will feel moderately or even strongly; Fairburn pop 12,950 Newton (225/sq mi), Precipitation totals in mm Salaries Main article: Parks in Atlanta Railways are central to the formation of modernity and ideas of progress the process of modernization in the 19th century involved a transition from a spatially oriented world to a time oriented world Exact time was essential and everyone had to know what the time was resulting in clocks towers for railway stations clocks in public places pocket watches for railway workers and for travelers Trains left on time (they never left early) by contrast in the premodern era passenger ships left when the captain had enough passengers in the premodern era local time was set at noon when the sun was at its highest Every place east to west had a different time and that changed with the introduction of standard time zones Printed time tables were a convenience for the travelers but more elaborate time tables called train orders were even more essential for the train crews the maintenance workers the station personnel and for the repair and maintenance crews who knew when to expect a train would come along Most trackage was single track with sidings and signals to allow lower priority trains to be sidetracked Schedules told everyone what to do where to be and exactly when If bad weather disrupted the system telegraphers relayed immediate corrections and updates throughout the system Just as railways as business organizations created the standards and models for modern big business so too the railway timetable was adapted to myriad uses such as schedules for buses ferries and airplanes for radio and television programs for school schedules for factory time clocks the modern world was ruled by the clock and the timetable Model of corporate management.
