Houston - City on the Move
We use a combination of Aerial & Ground level cameras to show the great city of Houston on the Texas Gulf Coast. For licensing or stock footage of this video contact Tampa Aerial Media.
Houston named after General Sam Houston who help to win Texas independence from Mexico in the Battle of San Jacinto fought on April 21, 1836, in present-day Harris County, Texas.
Houston Texas, one year after category 4 Hurricane Harvey brought devastating floods to many neighborhoods. Now a year later, Houston is in full gear back on the move. The city came together during the hurriane helping each other and it had a unifying affect on this largest city in popluation in Texas. The greater metropolitan area of Houston is 2nd behind Dallas-Fort Worth, however within the city limites Houston is the 4 largest city in population in Texas. No wonder traffic was pretty bad during rush hour.
We feature Minute Maid Park home of the Houston Astros, who became world champions less than a couple of months after Harvey. It gaved many in the city something to rally together in after dealing with the challenges of the hurricane.
We also feature Metro Rail which has been serving Houston since 2004.

Houston and Dallas
Space City and Big D
The biggest and third biggest cities in Texas, which is impressive, because everything is bigger in Texas. To say there is a rivalry between the two iconic cities is an understatement.
They are 240 miles, or 386 km apart. About 3 and a half hour drive. And yeah, both are huge.
In fact, with around 2.4 million people, Houston is the 4th largest city in the United States. With 1.4 million people, Dallas is the 9th largest. Houston actually is the biggest city in the country by total area. I know, I know. Dallas is part of the 4th largest metro area in the country (7.6 million). I mean, it’s close to Fort Worth and Arlington. Their metro is also known as DFW, or simply The Metroplex. Houston’s metro area is 5th (7 million). And for the rest of this video, I will give you statistics based on their metros areas, unless I state otherwise, mmk?
First of all, Dallas has a lower population density.
Ok next, so apparently there are these rankings by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network that look at global cities. While it considers both Dallas and Houston global cities, Houston is ranked Alpha - and Dallas is ranked at Beta +. Have fun with that in the comments.
Houston is a short drive from the ocean. More specifically, the Gulf of Mexico or even more specifically, Galveston Bay. It’s a Gulf Coast city. Dallas is...uh...a longer drive from the ocean. It’s at the edge of the Great Plains, and you’re not going to see as many palm trees there.
Due to this, Dallas gets more tornadoes and Houston gets more hurricanes. Dallas is at the southern end of what’s known as Tornado Alley, where tornadoes are more common. Dallas has been directly hit by tornadoes multiple times in its history. Houston has been hit by hurricanes multiple times. Most recently, in 2017 Hurricane Harvey caused parts of Houston to flood. Flooding is actually a regularly occurring problem in Houston, but not in Dallas as they’ve figured out a way to tame the mighty Trinity River, for the most part. Related to this...Houston is sinking. Literally. Dallas is not.

The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO) provides public transportation in the form of buses, light rail, and lift vans. METRO's various forms of public transportation still do not connect many of the suburbs to the greater city. METRO began light rail service on January 1, 2004 with the inaugural track (Red Line) running about 8 miles (13 km) from the University of Houston--Downtown (UHD), which traverses through the Texas Medical Center and terminates at Reliant Park. METRO is currently in the design phase of a 10-year expansion plan that will add five more lines to the existing system.
