Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Reports of the Park Board of the City of Portland, Oregon: 1908-1912 To The Citizens Of Portland: A clause of the Charter obligates the Park Board to make an annual report. This has been done and published as part of the annual "Mayor's Message" which is printed about six months after the report is rendered. Partly because the official messages are published so late after issuance and partly due to the lack of interest in routine civic affairs of a statistical sort the messages do not reach the citizens in sufficient numbers to insure accurate information being broad spread throughout the community. To overcome these objections, to give a first hand report embodying plans, reports and an outline of proposals, also to encourage a more general understanding of the problem as a whole, is the intent of this special report. At the commencement of the park project it is very vital that public understanding of it shall be such as to insure support when it is imperative and toward that end it is proposed henceforth to publish a separate annual report. The report of the Board, covering the past five years is submitted and with it a resume of its activities, explanatory tables, charts, plans, financial statements and a more detailed report of the Superintendent, all of which is sought for, more or less constantly, by citizens and others for statistical and sociological purposes.

Download or read book The Lost Dream written by Mansel G. Blackford and published by Ohio State University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mansel Blackford's The Lost Dream explores the history of city planning in five Pacific Coast cities - Seattle, Portland, Oakland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles - during the Progressive Era. Although city planning had diverse roots, Blackford shows that much of the early planning originated with businessmen who viewed it as a way to shape their urban environments both economically and socially. During the opening years of the twentieth century, the business and political leaders in each of these cities began developing comprehensive city plans encompassing harbor improvements, new street and transportation facilities, civic centers, and parks and boulevards. As Blackford shows, businessmen worked through both established political channels and newly formed bodies outside of those channels to become leaders in the planning process. As the planning campaigns evolved, businessmen found themselves both joined and opposed by ever-changing coalitions of professionals, politicians, and workers. The way that businessmen had previously interacted with these other parties greatly affected their success in obtaining their goals, but ultimately, Blackford claims, politics lay at the heart of planning. The proposed plans were accepted or rejected in heated citywide elections in which, to be successful, businessmen had to convince others to vote with them - a feat they achieved in only one city. Nevertheless, these plans were often later adopted in some piecemeal fashion, and Blackford concludes his study with an analysis of the legacy of Progressive Era city planning for later periods. The Lost Dream makes significant contributions to our understanding of city planning in America and particularlyin the American West.

Download or read book Shaping Portland written by Paddy Tillett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
