This article is a bit silly. What's different about Houston is these dense employment centers came about in spite of top down planning. Uptown, Greenway Plaza, and Texas Medical Center are rather large employment centers, even by sunbelt standards. However, the most unique thing is these centers (except TMC) were built over night in the 80s during the boom and have been trying to figure out how to become truly urban since. I think Houston is finding a better public-private balance as of late.
