Holy shit look how lush & GREEN The Woodlands is from above!!! Absolutely nothing else like it in Texas that's for sure. Where else can you find a superbly planned master community combined with dense urban development & a 450 ft. tall lone skyscraper popping up out of the woods? Not to mention an absolutely beautiful championship golf course & top notch performance venue.

:haha:

How does a city even come to look like this? And Forth Worth isn't a late 20th century city even, is it? What factors led to this odd island of a few highrises completely disconnected from anything else? Did they level all of the surrounding neighborhoods?

So how is it that you know what's to the right and left of downtown, and also the foreground? The photo only shows what it shows. What's with these forumers that make a judgement based solely on a photo or a few photos?

Sounds like an ad for The Woodlands. But yes, it is a beautiful community if one doesn't mind living way out in the suburbs.

While not a complete answer, you can check out the progression of the city via historical aerials:

The earliest photo is from 1956 - looks like a few highways are just starting construction, and this was before the real estate boom of the 1960s, so it gives a decent glimpse as to what the urban form presumably looked like in the period from the 1920s-1960s, and after that you can advance decade-by-decade to the present for your answer.

:previous: :slob: Those are sweet.
