Since the Portland Plan’s adoption in 2012, the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability and its many partner agencies and organizations have begun implementing the 142 actions laid out in the Plan. The newly released Progress Report shows how these actions are moving forward and highlights new opportunities and heightened priorities to advance the City’s goals. The Portland Plan builds on the successes of that plan and blazes a path for the next 25 years for a prosperous, educated, healthy and equitable city. Unlike past plans, the Portland Plan focuses not just on places but also on people. This broader and more inclusive approach, as well as its core principle of equity, is what will distinguish the Portland Plan from others of its kind. The Portland Plan proposes ways for us to work smarter and more collaboratively, be more focused and practical, and take on difficult decisions. Through the process of creating the plan with residents, businesses and partner organizations, we've developed integrated strategies that will help prioritize the actions needed to achieve our goals. And everyone – from individuals and community groups to schools and businesses – can help make the Portland Plan happen.
