500    Report of a workshop named: Pathways to Urban

       Human capital -- Natural capital and the built environment
       -- Measuring success and translating results -- Moving 
       foward. 
520    "The workshop was convened to explore the region's 
       approach to urban sustainability, with an emphasis on 
       building the evidence base upon which new policies and 
       programs might be developed. Participants examined how the
       interaction of various systems (natural and human systems;
       energy, water, and transportation systems) affected the 
       region's social, economic, and environmental conditions. 
       The objectives of the workshop were as follows: - Discuss 
       ways that regional actors are approaching sustainability 
       specifically, how they are attempting to merge 
       environmental, social, and economic objectives. - Share 
       information about ongoing activities and strategic 
       planning efforts, including lessons learned. - Examine the
       role that science, technology, and research can play in 
       supporting efforts to make the region more sustainable. - 
       Explore how federal agency efforts, particularly 
       interagency partnerships, can complement or leverage the 
       efforts of other key stakeholders. Pathways to Urban 
       Sustainability: A Focus on the Houston Metropolitan Region
       : Summary of a Workshop was designed to explore the 
       complex challenges facing sustainability efforts in the 
       Houston metropolitan region and innovative approaches to 
       addressing them, as well as performance measures to gauge 
       success and opportunities to link knowledge with action. 
       In developing the agenda, the planning committee chose 
       topics that were timely and cut across the concerns of 
       individual institutions, reflecting the interests of a 
       variety of stakeholders. Panelists were encouraged to 
       share their perspectives on a given topic; however, each 
       panel was designed to provoke discussion that took 
       advantage of the broad experience of the participants."--
