Growth Tour

For many Portlanders, “growth” has become a four-letter word. New buildings. More cars. Rising prices. Mainstream and social media tend to address these issues one project or controversy at a time, and media fragmentation makes it progressively harder to sort opinion from fact. On this tour, a variety of locations aim to showcase the people, ideas, and trends actually shaping our urban environment on a grander, deeper scale.
