Portland is a young city founded on a river bank in a virgin forest
less than 200 years ago. Shaping Portland: Anatomy of a Healthy
City is about the values engendered by the place, and how those
values have influenced the growing city. It examines how and why
the public realm supports or obstructs the health-forward
lifestyles of those who choose to live there. This book explores
the values and dynamics that shaped a healthy city to enable those
things. It is a case study of a recognized success - looking more
closely at a recent urban infill: the Pearl District. The future
roles of the planners and other design professionals in continuing
to build healthy and responsive environments are suggested. The
cities of the future will be those that we already inhabit, but
infilled and adapted to tomorrow's needs and values. Understanding
the dynamics involved is essential for those in whose hands we
entrust the design of cities and urban places.
