  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Stafford Triangle Author: Young, Jeremy R. Year: 2013 This year, the Portland metro area recognizes the 40th anniversary of Senate Bill 100’s signing into law by the late Governor Tom McCall. This landmark legislation paved the way for Oregon’s renowned land use planning system and pioneering urban growth boundaries. Since the implementation of the state’s first urban growth boundary (UGB) in the 1970s, the UGB has become a model for anti-urban sprawl efforts nationwide and has helped to preserve vast areas of agricultural and forest lands statewide. Since its inception, however, the UGB has excited controversy, especially in the state’s most populous area: Portland metro. This year, as many celebrate the birth of the UGB and its many successes, a largely rural community south of Portland and its surrounding municipalities continue to be embroiled in a decades-long conflict over the potential expansion of the boundary and the prospect of urbanization.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Oregon 2100: Urban Form and Settlement Patterns Author: Toulan, Nohad A. Year: 1991 In 1987 New York City adopted the report of its "Commission on the Year 2000." A year later Los Angeles followed the same course and approved a report prepared by its "Los Angeles 2000 Committee." In Oregon we have been equally active in the development of alternative scenarios and strategic plans for the year 2000. The Oregon Progress Board and its Benchmarks is just one example. Others include Portland's Civic Index process and Future Focus, METRO's Goals and Objectives study and LCDC's Growth Management Study. These studies and numerous others across the country reflect a the desire to enhance, or at least maintain, the quality of our social and physical environments as we move into the 21st century. The year 2000 is obviously a significant milestone. It is not only the end of one century and the beginning of another one, but it is also the transition from one millennium to another. Other than the attached symbolism, however, the year 2000 is no more significant for us today than 1990 was nine years ago. Nevertheless, symbolism is an important and very powerful tool if used properly to challenge our imagination and focus our attention on the real issues, assuming we can delineate them in the proper framework.
