Houston will be 200 years old in 2036. What should the city be like then, when it is expected there will be nearly twice as many people?
We suggest the far date for a comprehensive plan be 2036, with these milestones for improvement along the way:
- 2004 January - Super Bowl
- 2004 July – Baseball All-Star Game
- 2012 Olympics
- 2036 Houston Bicentennial
The Native Americans who first lived in this region would have planned ahead for seven generations.
That kind of long range planning is aimed at “sustainable development,” a concept invented in the Houston region more than 30 years ago by George Mitchell.
