Book Review // The Austin–San Antonio Megaregion: Opportunity and Experience

📕 The Austin–San Antonio Megaregion: Opportunity and Experience.

Published in September 2025, the book makes a clear and persuasive case for thinking about Austin and San Antonio not as separate metros, but as parts of a single, growing megaregion.

The book traces the growth of the communities that increasingly link Austin and San Antonio, including Schertz, Cibolo, New Braunfels, Kyle, and San Marcos, and shows how development along the I-35 corridor is reshaping daily life, the economy, and long-term planning across Central Texas.

For Austinites, the book also offers valuable insight into San Antonio’s history and development, going well beyond the Alamo and helping readers understand how the two cities’ paths are converging.

Overall, this is an excellent primer for anyone (insiders and near-insiders included) who want to understand where Austin and San Antonio (and the cities surrounding them) have been, and the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead as the region’s future becomes increasingly shared.
