Innovating for Equity
Atlanta Beltline joins tech leaders, Fortune 500 companies, and local disadvantaged business enterprises to bridge digital gaps. Free Wi-Fi, autonomous stores, and kiosks aid challenges. Community feedback drives sustainable solutions and inclusive progress.
Piloting, Pioneering Smart City Solutions
The Atlanta Beltline is working with our digital inclusion partners to activate infrastructure and devise technology solutions to improve the quality of life for residents in a strategic and inclusive manner.
In partnership with Atlanta-based Fortune 500 and local disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), strategy development and demonstration pilot sites are bringing together a wide array of partners to provide Atlantans with tech-driven experiences to help bridge the digital divide.
Using Infrastructure to Build Digital Inclusion
A pilot program is focused on addressing urban issues such as access to food, technology, and wellness. Services envisioned by this program include free public Wi-Fi, an autonomous grocery store, kiosks with information on Beltline activities, smart trash cans, maps, and more.
Community feedback and data will help identify the optimal long-term technology solutions on the Beltline corridor that best serve adjacent residents, businesses, and schools. In addition to an enhanced Beltline user experience, the program will seek long-term funding sources for the technology services.
