Henry Cisneros was San Antonio’s mayor before joining the Clinton administration as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Now he’s part of the Bipartisan Policy Group, a Washington, D.C. think tank that studies how cities can build infrastructure for the future.
Assessing Houston’s situation, Cisneros said the challenges were massive even before Harvey’s floods.
“Houston is one of the most vulnerable cities in the entire United States with respect to violent weather, climate issues,” explained Cisneros.
