This series contains committee meeting minutes from the Planning and Development Committee which reviewed and evaluated living conditions in Atlanta neighborhoods to ensure their suitability for citizens. The Planning and Development Committee also took considerations from the Department of Planning and Atlanta-Fulton County Joint Planning Board on urban renewal matters. The committee originally reviewed redevelopment of areas that included Butler Street, Atlanta University Center, Washington-Rawson, Georgia State College (later Georgia State University), and McDaniel Street. Meeting discussions covered revised housing codes, highway and street development, development of housing units, and land incorporation. Minutes include proposed budgets, relocation plans, correspondence, and statements on the status of redevelopment plans. Of particular note are minutes pertaining to the Butler Street Urban Renewal Area project to improve housing and increase greenspaces, plans to redevelop Buttermilk Bottom, and how the construction of the Northeast Expressway (I-85) could affect the residents. This series also includes minutes from the Citizens Advisory Committee that advised the mayor and the Planning and Development Committee on public opinions regarding upcoming renewal projects.
