Every state in the nation has geographic
divisions-upstate/downstate, urban/rural, major city/rest of the
state-that loom large as barriers to common cause. Toward One
Oregon examines the prospects for uniting one geographically
diverse state in the years ahead. When Oregon became a state in
1859, its role in the nation and the global economy was quite
different than it is today. Boundaries that made sense in the
nineteenth century don't always serve twenty-first century needs
productively. Current times demand a new, strategic understanding
of the state and its role in the nation and the world if its
people-all of its people-are to thrive. Oregon, like many states,
is faced with recovering and rediscovering a sense of shared
purpose as it attempts to meet the needs of its diverse
communities, peoples, and landscapes. Toward One Oregon explores
Oregon's urban and rural history and assesses the current situation
through political, economic, and demographic lenses. The book's
contributors include historians, urban planners, journalists,
economists, sociologists, and political scientists. They explore
the links and splits between urban and rural Oregon and together
offer a collaborative path forward-for Oregon and for any state
faced with similar, seemingly insurmountable, geographic
divisions-using the best of urban and rural policies in strategic
and complementary ways.
