Beth White (President and CEO of Houston Parks Board) and Dr. Daniel Potter (Senior Director of Research at the Kinder Center for Urban Research) join us for a conversation about the state of our parks in Houston. Beyond enjoyable green space, parks can help improve health, reduce crime, and increase educational outcomes for children. Beth and Daniel discuss the importance of our parks to resiliency and environment, as well as issues around park equity and how our parks are funded (and how that compares to other cities). At the end of the episode we check in with Dr. Sylvia Dee (Assistant Professor of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Rice University) about Hurricane Otis and what this storm means for those of us who live under the threat of these storms.
