Location Overview: Houston is located in Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties. Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States and the most populous city in the state of Texas.

Houston today is a reflection of postwar growth. The Houston skyline is now defined by numerous modern office towers – such as Pennzoil Place, Chase Tower, and Williams Tower. Downtown buildings are connected by a system of airconditioned, underground walkways linking 95 city blocks that allow pedestrians to avoid the high heat and humidity of the summers. The city is culturally diverse, the most diverse metro; fewer than half of its residents are of European descent, more than one-third are Hispanic, about one-fourth are African American, and a smaller but significant fraction is of Asian descent. There are more than 145 different languages spoke in Houston. While Spanish and English are Prevalent in the area, there is also Vietnamese, Chinese, Hindu, German, and Tagalog. Houston remains a leading oil and petrochemical centre. Oil and gas exploration, refining, petrochemical production, and the manufacture of machinery for these industries are major factors. The city has also become a focal point for networks of petroleum and natural gas pipelines. High-technology industries, trade, and business and financial services have become prevalent in recent years. Medical research and healthcare have a considerable economic impact. The combined institutions of the Texas Medical Center constitute by far the largest employer in Houston. Engineering services, software production, aerospace research and development operations, and electronics, and computer manufacturing are also economic strengths. The immense resources of petroleum, natural gas, sulfur, salt, lime, and water in the region have created one of the world’s greatest concentrations of industries along the Houston Ship Channel.

Southwest of downtown is an area of art museums and galleries anchored on the Menil Collection. The museum district has institutions devoted to medical science, the Holocaust, fine arts, and contemporary arts.
