Connecting our visions

In a study exploring more than forty Houston-area planning and visioning processes undertaken during the last two decades, it clear that Houstonians desire the following:

1. Focus on neighborhoods

2. Design for people more than cars

3. Protect our natural resources

4. Provide for clean air and water

5. Provide more open space and parks

6. Protect our existing historic and cultural assets

7. Create “people places” and “urban vil-lages”

8. Provide better access and mobility choices

9. Protect and plant more trees everywhere

10. Provide more recreational opportunities

11. Create a vast network of bayou-based linear parks connected to neighborhoods with pedestrian and bicycle paths
