The giant crater of concrete in downtown Atlanta, also known as the Gulch, could become a walkable mixed-use development.

That’s what a designer for the Los Angeles-based developer CIM Group pitched to a downtown planning committee Thursday morning.

Currently, the Gulch isn’t much more than a large parking lot with a few active railroad tracks, sunk beneath the city’s streetscape. The feeling can be that of a no man’s land.
