The City of Texas City Community Development Department is excited to have partnered with students from the Texas Southern University Urban Planning and Environmental Policy Master’s Program! Building on the great work of previous students, these talented individuals shared with us policy recommendations and revisualized the 1867 Historic Settlement. Their work includes a detailed 4D model and historical analysis to help support the preservation and development of our community.

A big thank you to Dr. Smith, Isaiah Allen, Joshua Lathan, and Petra Hsia for their commitment and dedication to this important project!
