| dc.description.abstract | Urban landscapes pose a significant challenge in striving for sustainability. Ecological services and resources that urbanites rely on within cities are for the most part hidden from thought and view. This severed connection between people and developing a direct connection with their environment disrupts the development of ecological concern, the ability to learn how ecosystems function, and how to behave in regards to the environment. Portland, Oregon is an example of a city with a well-known reputation for being environmentally friendly or "green". This research examines to what extent the city and its people are environmentally conscious, ecologically literate, and live in a landscape that is able to provide green infrastructure that is, in turn, conducive of the former attributes. | en_US |
