"Texas Metropolitan Blueprint: A Policy Agenda to Secure the Competitiveness and Prosperity of Texas." (2021) Rice University Kinder Institute for Urban Research, George W.

It needs a metropolitan policy agenda. Metropolitan regions are home to 9 in 10 Texans, and they are the state’s economic engines. They need a slate of policies that improves the quality of life for all their residents—and at the same time drives their competitiveness. This Texas Metropolitan Blueprint lays out recommendations for policies that address the most important economic development, land use, housing, infrastructure, and transportation challenges of the state’s metropolitan areas. Each is critical to speeding Texas’s economic recovery and securing its long-term prosperity.engCopyright ©2021 by Rice University Kinder Institute for Urban Research, George W.
