In 1991, the city began a community redevelopment project known as "Market Village," in order to create a well-defined downtown. Included were a community center and {{convert|28000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} public library. A mixed retail and residential district was modeled after an early 1900s city village, including a square with a fountain. This, and other expansions have revitalized the downtown area. Further redevelopment has occurred throughout the city—including thousands of new homes – mostly cluster homes, townhouse and condo communities replacing older neighborhoods.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smyrnavinings.com/smyrna-market-village-shopping/|title=Smyrna Market Village|website=SmyrnaVinings.com|date=December 5, 2007 |access-date=February 7, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.trulia.com/GA/Smyrna/|title=Smyrna Real Estate & Smyrna Homes For Sale |website=Trulia.com|access-date=February 7, 2015}}</ref> The population has risen as a result of redevelopment, a few annexations, and Smyrna's location as a residential suburb in the Northwest center of metro Atlanta.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newcomeratlanta.com/articles/2011/atlanta-top-100-neighborhoods.html|title=Top 100 Neighborhoods in Metro Atlanta|website=newcomeratlanta.com|access-date=February 7, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=kf7tgg1uo9ude_&met_y=population&idim=place:1371492&dl=en&hl=en&q=smyrna,+ga+population|title=Population in the U.S. – Google Public Data Explorer|website=Google.ca|access-date=February 7, 2015}}</ref>
