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.
