Regional Summit - March 5, 2010

Through Vision North Texas, leaders and experts around the region have worked together to imagine a future that is better than the one predicted by current trends and projections. They have created a vision for a preferred future and a practical set of action steps North Texans can take to achieve this vision. More Information >>>

 

On September 18th close to 300 people met to discuss North Texas Alternative Futures:
making choices that are better than business as usual

What is the ‘business as usual’ future for North Texas?Click to read the North Texas Alternative Futures Executive Summary

By 2050, almost 12 million people will live in North Texas. If current trends continue, these residents will spend even more time stuck in traffic than they do today. Current sources won’t provide enough water to meet their needs. Energy demands will be 20% above capacity. Many more acres of agricultural and open space lands will be converted to subdivisions and shopping centers.
