Wine About Housing - Downtown Edition

Wine About Housing: The Transformation of South Downtown Atlanta

Join MicroLife Institute for an evening of wine, conversation, and big ideas as we explore one of Atlanta's most ambitious redevelopment stories.

On August 19, we will welcome Jon Birdsong and Lucas Roberts, two of the leaders behind the transformation of South Downtown Atlanta, for a candid discussion about the challenges, opportunities, and vision shaping the future of this historic district.

South Downtown is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about redevelopment efforts in the city, blending historic preservation, entrepreneurship, housing, retail, and community investment into a bold vision for downtown living. During this interactive conversation, we'll discuss:

• The vision behind South Downtown's transformation
• The role housing plays in creating vibrant urban neighborhoods
• Challenges and opportunities facing Atlanta's growth
• How developers, policymakers, and community leaders can work together to create more housing choices
• What the future of Atlanta's urban core might look like

Following the discussion, guests will have the opportunity to participate in audience Q&A and network with fellow housing advocates, developers, architects, planners, elected officials, entrepreneurs, and civic leaders.

Whether you're passionate about housing, curious about Atlanta's future, or simply enjoy thoughtful conversations over a glass of wine, this is an event you won't want to miss.
