As our region considers the future of housing a growing population with evolving needs in suburban communities, what lessons can be learned from other communities that have successfully reimagined housing options for their residents? Our panel will explore how different developers outside of the greater Houston area have leveraged innovative ideas, creative design solutions, and interesting partnerships to offer different options for families as their needs evolve and our population grows. Join us to hear insights from experts on how Houston can apply these “out of box” approaches to breathe new life into master planned communities going forward while fostering growth and community vibrancy.

As our region considers the future of a growing population with evolving housing, business and other needs in suburban communities, how are we maintaining and expanding critical infrastructure such as water and power to support the growth? Our panel will explore the importance of adequate supplies, effective transmission, and maintenance and management of this infrastructure, and discuss the consequences of a failure to do so. Join us to hear insights from experts on how the Houston region can apply these lessons to foster growth, resiliency, and community vibrancy.
