On March 27, 2019, Houston Tomorrow will hold a civic discussion on everything that is good, bad, or ugly about the proposed I-45 expansion. Jay Blazek Crossley of Farm&City hosts a panel to dig into the data and the concepts behind what will happen if we invest heavily in more freeway and land development – or if we do something else.

Email info@houstontomorrow.org to RSVP. Please bring your own lunch and ideas.

How do we best bring changing technologies in transportation into operation, while also balancing this with the need to build more walkable, bikeable and transit-friendly cities? What does a city need to look like to accommodate new modes, and what policies should be put in place to get there? Experts discuss how technology, policy and transportation interact, and how they can be used to develop a city that functions better for all communities. Join this panel discussion on the future of urban transportation in Houston and other cities.

Held on the “2nd Saturdays” of each month, they will enjoy a delicious vegan potluck and meeting, along with a discussion, film screening, food demo or speaker presentation on intersectional issues of veganism, animal rights, environmentalism, nonviolence, health and more.

Rice Design Alliance’s Civic Forum 2019 is taking on the urgent topic of urban obsolescence and the importance of maintaining, preserving, and reusing the historic fabric of our cities. At a critical moment in Houston’s urban growth, what is the value of architecture in our city and our region and why should we care about preserving Houston’s identity through its urban past? While some might argue that doing away with the past can be a sound business solution, is that really the case and does nostalgia really have anything to do with it?

Through the analysis of some of Houston’s most relevant examples, Obsolescence will discuss the overarching factors that influence how we deal with change in the built environment – from regulations and tax policy, to cultural and political attitudes – all in an era in which preservation strategies are also acutely threatened by the environmental challenges of climate change.
