Building Better Cities, Building Better Lives at the Kinder Institute Annual Luncheon.
No city more closely epitomizes the changes in the country’s social and political landscape than Houston. The Rice University Kinder Institute for Urban Research works to arm industry and political leaders along with Houston citizens with the information necessary to implement meaningful solutions to critical urban issues facing our region. For four decades, the “Kinder Houston Area Survey” has been measuring the continuities and changes in the perceptions and experiences of successive representative samples of Harris County adults. Through intensive interviews reaching more than 45,000 Houston area residents, year after year the surveys have been tracking the trends in life experiences, attitudes and beliefs during a period of remarkable economic and demographic change in the Houston region.
Each year, the Kinder Institute holds its annual Kinder Institute Luncheon to share the results of the Kinder Houston Area Survey presented by Dr. Stephen L. Klineberg, Founding Director, Rice University’s Kinder Institute for Urban Research Professor of Sociology. For the final Kinder Luncheon before Dr. Klineberg’s retirement, VISION created a special tribute video honoring his important work and incredible impact on Houston. VISION is honored to have worked with Dr. Klineberg and the Kinder Institute as a Production Partner for so many years to showcase the survey’s data that inspires meaningful changes that lives ON for Houston and the world.
