CKP takes a 21st-century approach to public relations. They are a well-rounded group who not only understood our business, but understood our needs better than we did, which is why our brand presence and perception have never been higher. On top of the great work they do, they are a great group of people, with high integrity and work ethic. It is apparent they believe in what they do— they believe in their clients and it shows.” —Matthew Kades, former president, McDonald’s Greater Houston Operators Association We integrate public relations, marketing and branding to create remarkable results.

  • Park Sector 16
    PARK SECTOR 16 Parks Master Plan Phase II - December 2015 | 351 352 | Parks Master Plan Phase II - December 2015 PARK SECTOR 16 SUMMARY PARK SECTOR 16 PRIORITIES These priorities were developed by using condition assessment information from site visits, standard-based needs analysis (NRPA standards and data provided by the Trust for Public Land ParkScore™ Project), and public input via an online survey, park user interviews, community events and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) meetings. 1. Develop Neighborhood connections to parks and trails 2. Revitalize existing parks 3. Acquire new parkland 4. Develop partnerships with the school system and other entities 5. Preserve environmentally sensitive areas 6. Develop new park facilities RECOMMENDATIONS One (1) acre of parkland is needed in this Park Sector. While the majority of the Park Sector is served by parks within half a mile, there are some areas of need in the eastern portions of the Park Sector. Furthermore, residential multi- family development is increasing in the downtown area. There are few parks in the southern and eastern portions of the Park Sector and land acquisition should be pursued in these areas. Schools not participating in the SPARK School Park Program (Non-SPARK schools) should be explored as potential future partnerships for park space. This Park Sector is deicient in tennis courts, volleyball courts, skate parks, community centers, swimming pools, and baseball, softball and soccer ields. While there is no skate park in Park Sector 16, there is the Lee & Joe Jamail Skatepark in neighboring Park Sector 14 that is a world-class, in-ground skate park that serves the entire City.

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A GENTRIFICATION PROBLEM: THE GENTRIFICATION EFFECTS OF LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON Madeline Marguerite Byers† Abstract Local environmental improvement plans are increasingly popular among urban planners. As climate change and environmental justice concerns increase, many communities demand a change in local land use policies that put these concerns at the forefront. One such community is the city of Houston, Texas, which issued several environmental improvement plans in recent years after the devastation of Hurricane Harvey. As used in this Comment, an environmental improvement plan is a local government planning initiative that aims to implement positive environmental change in urban areas historically burdened by environmental hazards.
