  • Final Report September 4, 2015
    Final Report September 4, 2015 planhouston.org Houston: Opportunity. Diversity. Community. Home. Introduction Houston is a great city. From its winding greenways, to its thriving arts and cultural scene, to its bold entrepreneurialism, Houston is a city of opportunity. Houston is also renowned for its welcoming culture: a city that thrives on its international diversity, where eclectic inner city neighborhoods and master-planned suburban communities come together. Houston is a place where all of us can feel at home. Even with our successes, Houston faces many challenges: from managing its continued growth, to sustaining quality infrastructure, enhancing its existing neighborhoods, and addressing social and economic inequities. Overcoming these challenges requires strong and effective local government, including a City organization that is well-coordinated, pro-active, and efficient. Having this kind of highly capable City is vital to ensuring our community enjoys the highest possible quality of life and competes successfully for the best and brightest people, businesses, and institutions. In short, achieving Houston’s full potential requires a plan. Realizing this potential is the ambition of Plan Houston. In developing this plan, the project team, led by the City’s Planning and Development Department, began by looking at plans that had previously been created by dozens of public and private sector groups. The team then listened to Houstonians themselves, who described their vision for Houston’s future. Finally, the team sought guidance from Plan Houston’s diverse leadership groups – notably its Steering Committee, Stakeholder Advisory Group and Technical Advisory Committee – to develop strategies to achieve the vision. Plan Houston supports Houston’s continued success by providing consensus around Houston’s goals and policies and encouraging coordination and partnerships, thus enabling more effective government.
