A city full of endless traffic jams, relentless floods, and roads so dangerous most wouldn’t dare walk them. Located in the state of Texas, Houston consistently ranks as one of the worst designed cities in the world. And if you’ve ever been here, you can see why. But it wasn’t always this way. Houston used to be a city of opportunity. Oil made it rich, the ship channel turned it into a global port, and when NASA set up shop, Houston became the home of America’s space missions. For a while, it really felt like this city had no limits. So what went wrong? How did a place once known for big dreams turn into the poster child for bad city design? In this video, we’re going to look at how Houston grew, the problems built into its streets and neighborhoods, and the lessons it could learn from other US cities. But before we talk about fixes, we need to see how it all started."
