Lecture by Jim Blackburn, Professor in the Practice in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Rice University.

The future of Houston as a serious competitor in the global marketplace lies in many of the choices that will be made in the next few years. Are we ready to take our place as a truly world-class city, showing the way for the world, or will we be left behind?
