Testimonials
Sinclair Black, Planner
“As an urban designer, planner, architect, educator, and author who has been programming and building projects in Central Texas since 1967, I believe Nature Towns has the potential to establish a major international precedent.”
Jason & Andrea, members
“I look forward to being a part of the Nature Towns model as it goes out into the world. Nature Towns has that vision, unlike other projects that we have participated in. We see ourselves as being able to work together with Nature Towns as it evolves. There is a distinctive capacity in Nature Towns that we haven’t found elsewhere. “

“I would like to introduce you the a guy that has a pretty amazing development model. Its central premise is zero carbon footprint through the use of agriculture.

It can take an element of what is important to those stakeholders and build an affordable and environmentally innovative development.”
“The difficulty is not so much in developing new ideas, as in escaping from the old ones.”
John Maynard Keynes

Maintaining Power in Texas
The Business section of today’s Houston Chronicle leads with Chris Tomlinson’s commentary. The headline (print version): Lawmakers are more talk than action on electricity reforms. Unless you’ve been on a media fast for Lent, you probably heard about Snowmageddon here in Texas last month. In Central Texas, 5” of snow fell on Valentine’s night. ThatContinue reading “Maintaining Power in Texas”
