As Austin grew from a college and government town of the 1950s into the sprawling city of 2010, two ideas of Austin as a place came into conflict. Many who promoted growth believed Austin would be defined by economic output, money, and wealth. But many others thought Austin was instead defined by its quality of life, and a social movement broke out among these supporters. The city this “environmental movement” helped to create is now on the forefront of national efforts to rethink how we build our cities, reduce global warming, and find ways that humans and the environment can coexist in a big city.
