Right after Austin came out from the Depression, the future of the city was being cautiously planted to become the main center for advanced technology. During the 1950s, a number of think tanks and research laboratories have been established which started to draw high technology companies and modern thinkers to the city—a development that sill continuous to grow up to this very moment.
As the economy of Austin continued to prosper, the city has attracted more investors to construct contemporary amenities. A number of movie theaters have been constructed along with professional baseball team, library systems, and public swimming pools and areas.
Due to the rapid growth and development during the 1970s, political activities at the local level started to flame up. Strong historic preservation, neighborhood, and environmental communities rose to the occasion and now remain to be one of the most integral parts of the civic life of Austin today. And because of this, various concerns about the clarity and quality of water coming from the Barton Springs have led to its popularity and becoming one of the best landmarks of the city.
Throughout the history of Austin, various cultural groups have also showed their interest in the city which includes immigrants coming from Mexico, Europe, Africa, as well as Asia. All these cultural groups have greatly enriched the cultural and civic life of the city including its latest development as mecca capital for music enthusiasts.
Today, Austin continues to gain success from its cultural life as well as high technology innovations that will transform the city into a new metro area.
