From Wikipedia:
Uptown (more commonly called The Galleria Area) is a business district in Houston, located 6.2 miles (10.0 km) west of Downtown and is centered along Post Oak Boulevard and Westheimer Road (Farm to Market Road 1093). The Uptown District is roughly bounded by Woodway Drive to the north, the I-610 (West Loop) to the east, Richmond Avenue to the south, and Yorktown Street to the west. It covers 1,010 acres (410 ha).
At 23.6 million square feet (2.19 million square meters) of office space, the Uptown District is the 17th-largest business district in the United States, comparable in size to the downtowns of Denver and Pittsburgh. The district is home to approximately 2,000 companies and represents more than 11 percent of Houston's total office space.
The Uptown Galleria Area. I'll never forget that.
I Love highways more than streets!
But this is nice too.
You’re right! I watched a video another highway channel uploaded Hermann park is my favorite and it was a walk adventure! In the video, I even visited and saw a Muscovy duck! Looking good! He uploaded a walk adventure galleria mall today! Yesterday he uploaded several highways at the night! in one video! Ih 610, ih 45, ih 69, and ih 10! That’s it!
0:37 Wow! That car disappeared into thin air!
Looks like a car from cities skylines
😅
I remember being confused on which cluster of buildings was actually downtown Houston. Houston just has a lot of building clusters that makes it seem like there is more than 1 downtown. xD
A big city 🏙️
They need to put overpass walkways on this street. This is why everyone never considers Houston a world-class City: it is not walkable by any stretch of the imagination. Don't let me get started on the lack of public transportation in this pathetic countrypolitan.
Yeah Houston’s public transit options are limited for a metro of this size.
Houston will out populate Chicago in the next 10-15 years bro Houston could fit both the L.A and Chicago areas in it at the same time. It’s to big and huge of a metropolis area wise to be walkable. No one is going to walk from downtown Houston to even closer neighborhoods to downtown in 90-100 degree weather in summer. This is not NYC this is the South, and they build cities based on the geography and climate of the area. Houston was built on swamp, river and dense forest land like a lot of southern cities so before interstates and cars they were already spread out. Cities like NYC and Chicago were easier to build gridlock wise, geographically, and climate wise, they didn’t have to spread out post-car like the South. Gotta remember before AC units were mass industrialized, the Southeast and Southwest US cities were small most people in pre 20th century Southern US were agriculturalists. Cities like Los Angeles Phoenix Houston Miami Atlanta didn’t start growing until the late 19th-20th century when these areas became industrialized as well as when cars came about and then when the National interstate system came in play during the 40s 50s and 60s.
I always liked Uptown Houston more than Downtown Houston. Despite the massive Downtown skyline.
Yup, same. The Uptown area is unusually well-manicured and upscale for Houston... Not saying Houston is all that gritty, but compared to other parts of the metro where it's common to see tilted poles, traffic lights hanging from wires, lack of sidewalks, etc, the Uptown/Galleria area looks far nicer.
This area deserves to be a downtown in its own right; it has more office space than downtown Denver!
It's bigger than downtown Dallas.
It doesn't have the urban form like a Downtown. It's suburban with skyscrapers.
@@1TewBuMyShoeit’s better ❤
@@luxejohn nope.
@@1TewBuMyShoe yep
❤❤❤❤
Btw I like uptown
Can you take Westpark Tollway for next video
Soon
I love the Cheesecake Factory
Wish Dallas had taller high rises like these in it's own Uptown. Can't understand why Dallas can't build any more taller buildings or supertalls? Smh.
2 words:
Love Field
Love Field airport just to the north, is why they limit the height of the buildings in uptown Dallas. It's still really nice though.
@@flydragon7256 That's exactly why! Uptown Dallas is very nice though, even without super tall buildings it doesn't matter.
@@richardcoronado4081 Uptown Dallas is way more urban in form, even without the taller buildings. It’s not dominated by huge strip shopping centers like on Post Oak. Just remember this skyscrapers doesn’t = urban
@@1TewBuMyShoe stop lying uptown Dallas doesn’t even come close to midtown let alone uptown Houston Now I know your exerting damage control to make him/her feel better abt uptown Dallas but dnt go telling lies in the process cuz both downtown && uptown Dallas is more comparable to the tmc or memorial city but certainly not downtown or uptown Houston!!!
A ghastly post-pedestrian auto-polis. Every cliche about a city being 'car-centric' or 'nobody walks in...' comes to life in its epitomized form in Houston. The roads are for cars there, simple as that. Which I guess makes sense...walking in 90 degree 70% humidity isn't much fun. I'm sure there's SOME amount of money I'd accept to live there, but it'd have to be a big, big number. That said, if you live there and like it? Way cool. People should live where they're happy, and it's a totally personal thing. No one person's taste in lifestyle is better than any other person's, and part of what great about human beings is that we're all different, unique. Vive la differance! My take is just my personal opinion, and you know the saying about those lol...
I saw a few sidewalks here and there, and even a few people walking. Not sure why they would bother walking though. It's so humid there it chokes you, there's no way I could live in Houston, but it's still fun to see videos of it. And it's fun to drive through Houston on the way to Galveston, just to see how insanely Huge that city really is.
