Houston Reimagined: Dismantling Inequity through the Power of Design is a visionary design charrette that invites students to reimagine Houston’s neighborhoods as if key discriminatory policies had never existed. This event is a collaborative effort to explore how transportation, housing, and environmental justice policies have shaped some of Houston’s most iconic communities, including Third Ward, Second Ward, and Kashmere Gardens.
Participating students will be challenged to envision alternative urban futures where equity, inclusivity, and sustainability are at the forefront. Through guided design prompts, attendees will focus on creating major urban features and micro-design elements that reflect a more just and unified city. The charrette aims to inspire innovative solutions that address historical injustices and propose new ways to build a more connected and equitable Houston for all its residents.
Join us in this dynamic and interactive workshop to contribute your ideas and creativity toward reshaping the future of Houston’s urban landscape.
