Abstract:
This work contains only the early pieces leading up to a base
urban design framework for Portland's Central City. It contains
six seemingly discreet but connected areas of investigation.
These include a history of great Portland plans, a study of
relevant precedents (historical and contemporary case studies),
an analysis of the current 1988 Central City Plan, existing
conditions impacting urban design, an evaluation of evolving
areas and finally, a discussion of three related ongoing concerns,
FAR (floor area ratios), height and skyline. [From the document]
