Atlanta is a true urban forest. The canopy of foliage covers up a bunch of dense (albeit not very tall) development, so it kind of looks like these towers just come out of nowhere.
Are there plans on planting peach trees on Atlanta's most famous thoroughfare... I heard there's suppose to be a billion dollar investment of sorts on Peachtree.

I don't believe peach trees would do well along Peachtree, ironically. Too much exhaust, smog, ozone, etc.
What kind of trees are those that were recently planted on the left side of the street? Atlanta could really distinguish itself by embracing this abundance of greenery.

I believe they are willow oaks. The side streets to Metropolis and along 10th east of Peachtree are European hornbeams.

How about this for the city's slogan:
Viva; Although MARTA is rightly criticized for not going to enough places, it actually does serve the majority of Atlanta's high rise clusters. It's represented fairly well in downtown and midtown, as you noted, and there are actually two MARTA stations in close proximity to each other in Buckhead, amidst the high rise boom there. There's even a MARTA line that heads north and has a station at Atlanta's arguably "fourth" skyline, Perimeter Center. The only real building "concentration" not served by MARTA is the Cobb/Galleria/Cumberland area on Atlanta's northwest side.
