Stupich, Martin, 1949-. MARTA. Kenan Research Center, Atlanta History Center, 130 West Paces Ferry Road, Atlanta GA 30305, 2006. EBSCOhost. Web.

This book is about the history of Marta. It is intended for gaining knowledge on Marta and its beginnings. This source has helped me identify the rhetoric in this built environment. This book tells when Marta was built and the obstacles it faced going through the years to become the wide spread bus system it is today. I chose this sources because of it fact based content. It provides a background for my exterior built environment, and helps paint a mental picture of what Marta was then compared to how it is now. Using only second hand articles may have more opinion based information. The flaws with this book is its outdated content doesn’t account for new developments and achievements. This book was published in 2006 which is a ten year gap of information. This book relates to my other resources because it offers an unbiased opinion compared to the web articles used.

THOMPSON, CLIVE. “No Parking Here.” Mother Jones 41.1 (2016): 16-25. MasterFILE Elite. Web. 5 Feb. 2016.

This journal article is about the availability of space for parking in big cities like Atlanta. It is intended to show the change in car usage of adults who became young adults at the beginning of the millennium, and the environmental impact of creating more parking spaces and vice versa . This journal article describes the overall experience of a driver in Atlanta: the space, parking, ability to locate certain buildings. I chose this journal article because its viewpoint from the people experiencing and living in this built environment. Since this is a personal article, it lacks credibility and is more opinion and experienced based, than experimental and fact based. The author of this journal article also seems biased on the topic making it open to skepticism. This article relates to my other article because it shows that since the availability to maneuver in Atlanta with a car is less than favorable; people are seeking an alternative mode of transportation, Marta.

Connor, Michan Andrew. “METROPOLITAN SECESSION AND THE SPACE OF COLOR-BLIND RACISM IN ATLANTA.” Journal of Urban Affairs 37.4 (2015): 436–461. Print.

This journal article is about the majority white cities in DeKalb and Fulton County. In 2011 a lawsuit was filed for the desegregation of these majority white cities. The case was voted against for the reason that it not a race issues is a social class divide, and they happen to be majority white. This article relates to an article we have read in class about the use of architect to segregate neighborhoods, and I chose this journal article because it relates to the built environment. This article flaw is that it is a court case that was tried in 2011. In the five years since the case, understanding of discriminating have gotten more attention (i.e. same sex marriage) making this outdated. This article relates to my other articles because of its evidence of how the built environment of high income homes are influencing the need for lower income homes; which, needs more land to build.
