  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Assessing Government’s Solutions for Urban Growth within a Sustainable Development Approach: The case of Portland, Oregon Author: Laraichi, Oussama Year: 2016 A growing number of cities around the world have been chasing the Sustainable Development Model, balancing between economic health, environment resilience and social equity in an overall transparent governance. Given the demographic trend of cities welcoming an increasing share of the world’s population, urban planners and government officials are challenged by a growing Urban Density. With a significant population increase pace, the city of Portland, Oregon will need to efficiently address Urban Density. The leadership in Sustainability that the largest city of Oregon is claiming could be jeopardized by the effects of Urban Density. What should Portland’s urban planners and policies makers do to overtake this challenging trend and remain in a leading position in Sustainability? Various solutions exist. Urban Sustainable Development literature shows us that cities embrace Urban Density by applying different set of adaptive tools in order to become or remain sustainable. Using a Hierarchical Decision Model, this paper aims to develop an adapted multi-perspective, multi-criteria model that will fit Portland’s needs for a sustainable overtake of Urban Density. Then, by submitting this model to an experts’ panel, it aims to conclude with a ranked proposal of solution alternatives to keep the city of Portland a Sustainability leader.

Americans are generally aware of their families’ personal stories and the inextricable link to immigration, but they are likely less familiar with historical and current trends. Focusing in Oregon and more specifically, the Portland metropolitan area, we provide a statistical portrait of the foreign-born population by examining recent growth patterns, identifying geographic origins, and describing individual-level characteristics.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Population Outlook for the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Region Author: Hough, George C., Jr., Koski, Amy Year: 2007 While many people both inside and outside Oregon envision the state as a place of picturesque coastal bluffs, mountain ranges, the Columbia River Gorge, and oldgrowth forests, the population is primarily urban. It has been for many decades. In 2000, three-quarters of Oregon’s 3.4 million residents lived in towns and cities. Almost one-half of Oregon’s population lived in the metropolitan Portland area. This paper offers an overview of population dynamics in the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area, which includes five of Oregon’s thirty-six counties–Clackamas, Columbia, Multnomah, Washington, and Yamhill–and Clark County in the state of Washington. It refers to the “metropolitan Portland-Vancouver area” as the total area including the Oregon and Washington counties and to the “metropolitan Portland area” when limiting discussion to the five Oregon counties. It describes current trends for population growth; the effect of births, deaths, and migration on population growth; how the age, sex, and ethnic composition are changing; and where residents live. Finally, the paper discusses the dynamics for future growth and their implications.

The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires communities to count people living in emergency shelters, transitional housing or places not meant for human habitation (these people are collectively known as “HUD homeless”) on a single night (a “point in time”) at least once every two years. This enumeration is one way of understanding the levels and trends in unmet need for shelter and permanent housing within the community. The last PIT count was conducted on January 28, 2015. The objective of this report is to share the results of the 2017 PIT count.
