The Houston region in Texas recovered from the collapse of the oil-boom in the 1980s to find itself in the midst of a restructured economy and a demographic revolution. These are the trends that are re-fashioning the social and political landscape across all of urban America, perhaps nowhere more clearly seen than in Houston. We review the findings from more than three decades of systematic survey research to explore the three most critical issues facing American cities today: (1) the need to counteract the growing income inequalities that are based above all on access to quality higher education; (2) the importance of environmental protection and other quality-of-life issues in attracting the talent that will grow the local economy; and (3) the challenge of building a successful, inclusive, equitable and united multi-ethnic society in the twenty-first century.

Abstract You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
