Walljasper, Jay | October 13, 1997 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on urban planning of Portland. Portland attracts this interest from around the country because instead of accepting ever-escalating levels of traffic, air pollution, sprawl and inner city decay, it offers a different version of what American cities could look like in the twenty-first century. Most other growing metropolitan regions, from Orlando to Minneapolis-St. Paul to Las Vegas, still follow in the tracks of Los Angeles, the classic twentieth-century city founded upon an unwavering commitment to freeways and new subdivisions.
