About this listen

 "Texas Cities on the Rise" This episode chronicles the dramatic urban transformation of Texas through the rise of its major cities - Austin, Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio - each developing distinct identities while grappling with rapid growth and demographic change. Thatch explores how Austin became a technology and music hub while maintaining its "weird" character, how Houston leveraged space exploration and medical research alongside its energy roots, how Dallas built a gleaming financial center with world-class cultural amenities, and how San Antonio turned its historical heritage into economic advantage. The narrative addresses the challenges of gentrification, immigration, cultural fusion, and the political tensions between urban innovation and rural tradition, showing how Texas cities created new ways of being Texan in the modern era.
