It’s not. Midtown is the area around Piedmont Park. Downtown is the actual downtown area on the West side.

Downtown is the area around Five Points, the historic heart of the city.
Midtown developed - correct me if I’m wrong - as developers continually sought to create new properties with a Peachtree Street address. So the built up Midtown along Peachtree.

72 year resident here. Midtown is considered the area between Ponce de Leon Ave. to the south and Brookwood Station to the north.

Midtown skyline in the foreground, and the downtown skyline in the background. This image obviously does not include the Buckhead/uptown skyline.

Atlanta is such a soulless city.
