The Woodlands is actually turning into quite the urban oasis in a desert of banal sprawl. They are actually developing super dense neighborhoods and dense low-high rise apartment blocks near the mall. Last time I was there a couple months ago, they were in the process of building a new urbanist community that looked just like New Orleans, like it could have fooled me and the development was huge, probably at least 300 acres or more of dense new urbanist development. Pretty amazing to be seeing that kind of stuff in a burb of Houston. Most of the dense development taking place cant be seen on this photo. |

Actually, if you could post a Google Maps link of the location, that would be great. I was trying to find it earlier today so I could make a better opinion of the area this photo is in, but couldnt find it. |
Yeah, I mean, Woodlands' built density is probably significantly less dense than any traditional railroad suburb by any measure (built floor area ratio, pop density, household density, etc.).
It's a very attractive and pretty area from ground level: the forest cover really helps. (although,, the massive parking lots around the mall I could do without, but the fact that they even built surface lots rather than garages, which Houston's Galleria has, is a testament to the fundamentally low suburban land value). |
This is like calling West Plano urban.

:previous: That is by far the best pic of Edmonton I have seen to date. I had no idea the skyline was that large.
Thanks for sharing. |

^1 thing to note is that those parking lots around it are either 2 or 3 storeys in height.

Here's a recent aerial photo that shows much of the city centre of Halifax:

Perhaps the most untapped potential of any city in Canada.
