Houston, Texas: The grid pattern of a modern American city is well illustrated by this cloud-free photograph of the Houston-Galveston Metropolitan area. There are over four million people living in the region and it is one of the high growth regions in the United States. The changes in land use patterns are documented from the high density downtown areas of both Houston and Galveston to the more open areas in the suburban regions. Galveston Bay is one of the reasons for the growth as well as area rivers.
