I was in a Leadership Austin class on all day Wednesday. We discussed some interesting updates on new urbanism, transit-oriented development, commuter rails, and other changes to Austin and Texas that I'll share in upcoming weeks and months.
A variety of infrastructure and development tools are being used in anticipation of millions of new residents coming to Texas in the next decade.
The theme of the past few Leadership Austin sessions have been economic development and infrastructure needed in Texas to keep up with consumer demand. We are not a shrinking population and are growing at a very fast pace.
For example, Austin the only city in the U.S to consistently double it's population every 20 years since the 1900s. This creates both challenge as well as opportunity. Accordingly, important decisions need to be made, some of which will be very controversial.
