Atlanta has in recent years undergone a transition from a city of regional commerce to a city of international influence.[8] Between 2000 and 2006, the Atlanta metropolitan area grew 20.5%, making it the fastest growing metropolitan area in the nation.[9] Atlanta is often considered a poster child for cities worldwide experiencing rapid growth and urban sprawl.[10][11]
