Forecasts
According to the North Central Texas Council of Governments
2030 Demographic Forecast, issued in April 2003, Downtown
"may change more over the next 30 years than any other
area of its size in the region. Historic office buildings
will continue to be reshaped into mixed-use residential towers…as
a self-sufficient, livable downtown emerges."
