I wish we had 10 million people in an area the size of Delaware 75% can't spell their own name, but the other 25% make up for it by having 2.5 million people who can.

There’s no way to put this, but Dallas is just an absolute beast. I think at this point we should just be really grateful that such a huge economic engine is so close to Oklahoma. I don’t fully understand the history as to how Dallas got the way it did and I’ve lived there. But it looks like Texas is on par to surpass California at some point in time with its growth in economic GDP.

There are many factors, and I’m certain that my theory is too simplistic, but my personal belief is that the tipping point - the moment where Dallas switched from a regional player to a global player - was in 1979, when American Airlines relocated its corporate HQ from NYC to DFW.

I think there are many factors, and DFW Airport being able to grow and serve as a hub for American, and also American and Southwest having HQ in Dallas. There are also many other HQ's for Fortune 500 companies.

You also have to wonder how much things like Dallas the TV Show in the 80's, the Cowboy's dominance in the 90's, a vast highway network, diversified economies between Dallas and Forth Worth, and generally good weather help promote people moving to the city.

Dallas to us is like LA is to Phoenix. At a point, Dallas’s size, congestion, and cost will push even more to OKC. We need to look at more ways to be complementary and not competitive.

My point is that I’m pretty sure that you can connect the rise of Fortune 500 company relocations to Dallas to its emergence as THE hub for American (plus the birth and growth of homegrown Southwest). You can fly direct to Dallas from pretty much anywhere, and that’s become a major factor in most corporate relocations. And make no mistake, most of the Fortune 500 companies in Dallas relocated there from someplace else.

After the accessibility consideration the other factors come into play; taxation structure/environment, proximity to major (large-enrollment) institutions of higher learning, the relative cost and availability of real estate, and on and on. DFW is unique in this region and unusual nationally in its combined offerings in many of these categories, but I really believe the steroid-fueled economic development watershed moment was the arrival of American Airlines.

DFW Airport is massive indeed, how many domestic and international destinations do they have now? New destinations coming up: American: Venice, Tampico, Brisbane; CATHAY PACIFIC: Hong Kong; FIJI : Nadi. Also, Air India is very close to announcing DELHI; and buzz circulating that EVA will start DFW-TPE.

If we were ever included in an HSR line between Dallas and literally anywhere else the population and economy of OKC would experience explosive growth. Not all good growth, most likely, but everything would suddenly be on steroids here.

I am pretty sure this video is where the pics quoted comes from. They match perfectly. Also, there's a view of Knox-Henderson as well. The video shows a lot of ongoing infill and the potential for even more. Best video that shows all the areas north of Downtown being connected.

Screenshots - with a few projects U/C in red and planned in black

Links that corresponds to the pics are in the reddit comments. I think most of this has been covered already and is just for people who want more info. Too lazy to post all of them here

A new article from the Dallas Morning News talks about the definition of Downtown changing because of all of the new development. Eventually, ppl will call this entire area “downtown”. I made a map of Dallas’ emerging connected urban core.


Your idea of downtown’s location may not be the same as everyone else’s
New residents may not know strict definitions, even as efforts persist to connect different areas.

More people today may care about the future of downtown Dallas — but sometimes it feels like many of them have a different take on where the heart of the city is. With over 1 million people joining North Texas since 2010, many ideas are in flux about what sidewalks, buildings and parks are within downtown borders. And that’s not about to change amid our growth.

That said, there are some traditional, agreed-upon limits for downtown with key highways: I-35E, I-30, 75 and 366. It makes for a simple and clear downtown.

But no one’s handing out these maps to folks when they arrive in the city’s core. So, a Plano resident driving through Uptown could see tall, glass-covered buildings and associate them with the core’s skyscrapers. Klyde Warren Park helps connect the two areas as well. Then there’s nearby Deep Ellum.

And don’t forget Victory Park with its modern vibe or the Cedars with some of its developments. The Design District shouldn’t be ignored either.

But while ideas can vary, the development of different areas points to something bigger: “I think what we’re seeing, especially the last 10 years, is the emergence of, really a more urban Dallas,” said Andrew Matheny, senior research manager at Cushman & Wakefield.

These are part of bigger plans that connect the different areas as “Dallas’ city center is a unique collection of diverse, vibrant neighborhoods that have shaped the rich history of the city.”
