| Short Title: | Downtown Plan and Program |
| Overview: | Portland's Downtown Plan and Program is a detailed city planning mechanism to revitalize and enhance Portland, Oregon's downtown area. This multifaceted plan featured expanded and centrally located local transit; appropriately located and designed uses to fashion the downtown into a 24-hour locale; the positing of transit, building, and development into an urban form that steps down to the riverfront; preservation and restoration of historic buildings and the proper scaling of new development within historic areas; and provision and design of public places. The Portland Downtown Plan is a successful comprehensive downtown planning process that could serve as a model for other mid-size American cities. The Plan is exemplary in terms of its grassroots participation, the plan's populist goals and objectives, and the successful collaboration between citizens, business and political interests. |
