Bryan Brown at APA Texas – Houston Section on Management Districts
On August 22, 2025, our President, Bryan Brown, joined the American Planning Association (APA) Texas – Houston Section for a panel on the important role management districts play in Houston’s growth.
Management districts, like the Energy Corridor, help create thriving communities by supporting economic development, improving infrastructure, and enhancing quality of life. They’re designed to work alongside existing city services, bringing additional resources, projects, and programs that attract residents, businesses, and jobs.
The panel, featuring fellow leaders Kris Larson of the Downtown District and Irma Sanchez of the Westchase District, explored how management districts:
- Drive progress and innovation by fostering collaboration
- Bring tangible projects to life that strengthen neighborhoods and support local employers
- Provide a clear vision for the future of their communities
A big thank you to APA Texas – Houston Section for hosting, and to fellow panelists Kris Larson (Downtown District) and Irma Sanchez (Westchase District) for sharing their insights.
