Abstract:
The Portland region has received considerable attention for a two-decade experiment balancing land use and transportation. The region took the road less traveled by choosing to grow without the negatives of more automobiles and freeway lanes. Today, Portland offers a quality of life that is the envy of much of the nation. The roots of the Portland strategy are surveyed by examining where the region has been, the results so far, and choices for the future.
