The Lone Star State\u2019s destiny lies with the \u201cTexas Triangle,\u201d a vibrant network of metropolitan areas that represents the world\u2019s 15th<\/sup> largest economy, said Henry Cisneros ’68, a former mayor of San Antonio and U.S. Housing and Urban Development secretary, in his book, \u201cThe Texas Triangle: An Emerging Power in the Global Economy.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Cisneros, an Outstanding Alumnus of the College of Architecture, came to the college for a discussion and book signing Oct. 8, 2021, in the Adams Presentation Room.<\/p>\n

The Texas Triangle consists of three major metro areas: Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston-Galveston, and Austin-San Antonio, and the 35 urban counties that comprise those areas. The triangle will soon include four of the ten most populous cities in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Cisneros and his co-authors, David Hendricks, a retired business editor and columnist at the San Antonio Express-News, J.H. Cullum Clark, director of the George W. Bush Institute\u2013SMU Economic Growth Initiative, and William Fulton, director of the Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University, see the triangle as a new, strong pinnacle in the global system of economic megacenters.<\/p>\n

Fulton and Hendricks also appeared at the lecture and book signing.<\/p>\n

In the book, Cisneros and his co-authors describe the trajectories of each of the Texas Triangle metros in which they live and work and integrate them into a larger dynamic of functioning cohesion and effective collaboration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Texas Triangle\u201d offers community leaders, elected officials, policy makers, and others a nuanced understanding of an important moment in America\u2019s urban development. With broad perspectives for how community-building advances the public interest, the book lays important foundations for matching the path of economic prosperity to an informed sense of what is possible.<\/p>\n

Cisneros, who earned a Master of Urban Planning<\/a> degree at the college, is the chairman of American Triple I, an infrastructure investment firm. He is also a past member of the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents and a past president of Univision Communications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
