Houston, Texas, is the fourth-largest city in the United States, with a population of about 2.3 million as of 2023. It spans over 665 square miles, making it larger in area than the entire state of Rhode Island. The city is home to the Texas Medical Center–the largest medical complex in the world–and NASA's Johnson Space Center, which oversees U.S. human spaceflight operations. Houston’s economy is driven by energy, aerospace, healthcare, and shipping, with the Port of Houston ranking among the busiest in the nation by total tonnage.
The live webcams offer two distinct perspectives of Houston, giving viewers a dynamic sense of the city's character. One stream shows the downtown skyline from a distance, where landmarks like the 305 m-tall JPMorgan Chase Tower–the tallest five-sided building in the world–and the pyramid-crowned Heritage Plaza stand out. Downtown Houston is home to the largest downtown tunnel system in the U.S., spanning over 6 miles of climate-controlled walkways connecting offices, shops, and restaurants. The second webcam centers on a stadium, capturing its structure alongside parts of the skyline, blending sports and city life in one view.
