The central feature of this resource is the development of <a href="urbansd.html">Sustainability Indicators</a> to compare neighborhoods in Houston using <a href="goals.html">citizens goals</a> developed by Blueprint Houston. The website will feature data and reports on neighborhood comparisons in the city of Houston as well as links to <a href="huarp.html">major urban affairs information</a>. While the content is primarily urban planning specific, other urban affairs information will be included as well, such as: public policy, public administration, sociology, transportation planning, environmental management, and law. <p> HSI was created for use by citizens, businesses, government, and researchers interested in urban affairs in the city of Houston. The Online Resource Center is a central hub for data and reports on neighborhood comparisons, while the Houston Urban Affairs Research Portal publishes a database of articles and books on urban affairs in the city and Houston metropolitan region. <p> <img src="images/whitesquare.jpg" width="20" height="30"> </td> <td width="10"> <p><img src="images/whitesquare.jpg" width="20" height="10"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="bottom"> <td width="13" height="1"> . </td> <td width="575" height="1"> <img src="images/dot_line.gif" width="500" height="1"> </td> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="top"> <td align="center" valign="top"> <img src="images/hsi.jpg"> </td> <td valign="middle"> <font size="-1">2011 | <a href="notice.html" target="_blank">Notice</a>|</font> </td> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="top"> <td align="left" valign="top" colspan="2"> <font type="arial" size="-1">General Information - <a href="mailto:info@houston-indicators.org">info@houston-indicators.org</a><br> Webmaster - <a href="mailto:webmaster@houston-indicators.org"> webmaster@houston-indicators.org</a> </font> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
