CEC welcomes new member group Better Houston

BetterHouston, a 501(c)(3), is dedicated to the betterment of the character and quality of our neighborhoods and of the urban environment. Its vision of a sustainable Houston is a city of safe, livable neighborhoods, walkable mixed-use urban districts, and transit-oriented higher density centers, with vibrant public places, supported by a world-class multi-modal transit system. Better Houston’s vision will be achieved through proactive civic involvement and collaboration, by outcomes-driven planning, urban design, and the implementation of practical and innovative solutions. Better Houston’s priorities are better neighborhoods, better transit and better urbanism. Major events include “Dine and Discuss” programs and community forums with City leaders; The Public Policy Forum in partnership with the Rice University Kinder Institute; Better Block; and Pedestrian Pete walks. Publications include the Better Houston monthly newsletter and the Pedestrian Pete blog. For more information, contact:
