Central Houston, Inc. is proposing a multi-year initiative to ensure that current downtown revitalization results in the goal of a sustainable and highly desirable urban center at the heart of a competitive region that interfaces effectively with center city neighborhoods.  Our overall direction will be to facilitate an urban living and working environment that supports a very desirable urban quality of life. 

The Urban Collaborative Program will be built on the principles of partnership, collaboration, knowledge, and assistance with the City of Houston and interested communities. The program will be a special project of Central Houston Civic Improvement, Inc., the 501(c)(3) affiliate of Central Houston, Inc. Central Houston employees will staff it; however, stakeholder partners in urban center revitalization will assist in setting direction and funding.  This proposal explains the program concept and activities.
