San Antonio, Texas.

Video by Chris Huerta is a few years old and does not include several now completed and underway projects, but it offers a great view of the older downtown and perhaps an idea of the type of urbanity San Antonio should have pushed for itself. The question for the future is if the city can with the current boom cycle successfully spur the infill of its underutilized downtown lots and inner ring even as the diffusive suburban sprawl continues to spread.

A little more recent, though still a year old, is a video by White Cloud Drones documenting the construction of the new Frost Tower. As could be seen in the previous video, downtown San Antonio has very few modern mirror glass buildings, so the Frost Tower is unique on the skyline. Typically the building is seen from the ground reflecting the sky, but here the drone footage looks down from above as the older city is reflected in the glass.
