Rice Design Alliance - Civic Forums

Earth, Fire, and Wind
A Series of Three Civic Forums Sponsored by the Rice Design Alliance

This season, RDA's civic forums will focus on the Houston region's self-assessment at the beginning of a new century. In June, Part 1, Earth, addressed the successes and challenges in shaping the face of our residential life through various neighborhood organizations and activists.
In September, the second forum, Fire, focused on the current economic engines and their impact on the city form. The final forum, to be held at 7pm on December 1, will address the larger forces beginning to coalesce that will reconfigure our region, including economic, environmental, and social conditions.

Panelists:

James D. Calaway, CEO, Center for Houston's Future
David Crossley, President, Gulf Coast Institute
Nestor Rodriguez, Professor and Chair, Department of Sociology,
University of Houston and Co-Director, Center for Immigration Research
