Event Details — Car-free living in Houston - A My Houston 2040 panel discussion

Houston Tomorrow, Air Alliance Houston, and the Citizens’ Transportation Coalition agree that Houstonians can build a better Houston today by thinking about the Houston we may inherit in 2040 and the Houston we want in 2040. Each happy hour includes time for networking and socializing, a topical speaker who will give an informational presentation on Houston urbanism, transportation planning, culture, environment, and more, and a visionary speaker who will give their “My Houston 2040” talk: what they think Houston will be like in 2040, what they want it to be like in 2040, and / or what they want us to do to make it like they want it to be in 2040.

For this month’s event, MyHouston 2040 will feature a panel discussion on car-free living in Houston. More information follows:

With gas over $4/gallon again, some are starting to reconsider their commutes. But one group of Houstonians is relatively unaffected: those who get around without cars.

On Thursday, My Houston 2040’s monthly happy hour will include a panel discussion featuring an array of Houstonians who are happily living car-free in Houston. We hope to see you there!

Interrupting the speaker and open discussion is encouraged, as is sticking around at Rudyard’s and talking all night.
