For Harris County Precinct 4

Inner Northwest Community Plan

Texas APA Silver Award for Best Practice

‘The Inner Northwest community is one of Harris County's most dynamic places. It's where historic neighborhoods meet rapid new growth. This plan reflects the community’s priorities of safer streets, parks, trails, green spaces, healthcare access, and transit.’ HCP4 Final Report

The community plan identifies needs and priorities across the east side of Spring Branch, and the Timbergrove and Lazybrook neighborhoods. These priorities will guide public, private, and non-profit investments over the next 10 years. Infrastructure recommendations will focus on a 10-year horizon, while other elements will focus on actions that can be completed within the next 2 years. 

UltraBarrio conducted an in-depth existing conditions analysis focused on urban design and environmental topics to lay the groundwork for a series of recommendations. UltraBarrio also designed interactive public workshops to assist in facilitating conversations with the community to further direct a set of strategies and recommendations. UltraBarrio team with TEI kicked off the study in August with a series of public workshops to unpack urban design opportunities.
