Darin Givens is a prominent Atlanta-based writer, community advocate, and web developer best known for chronicling the city's built environment under the moniker "ATL Urbanist".

Over nearly two decades, he has established himself as a central figure in Atlanta’s urbanism community, dedicating his platform to advocating for walkable neighborhoods, public transit expansion, and dense, equitable housing. He is also widely recognized for coining the phrase "drive-to urbanism," a term used to describe modern commercial developments that achieve a walkable aesthetic internally but remain isolated within car-centric regional infrastructure.
