  • More about Portland's Good Life: Sustainability and Hope in an American City

Lewis Mumford emphasized the importance of well-constructed cities for the good life, and Portland, Oregon, is a prime example of this vision. Its grass roots governing system, housing and climate protection initiatives, and citizen-focused approach have created a city that honors the humanity of its people.

Lewis Mumford, a renowned urbanist, emphasized the significance of well-designed cities in fostering the good life. In his book, "Good Life: The Good Life in Portland," R. Bruce Stephenson explores how Portland, the only city in America that embraced Mumford's vision, became a model city for living the good life. Stephenson attributes Portland's success to its grassroots governing system, housing and climate protection initiatives, and, most importantly, its citizens who are committed to the public good. These factors have led to the creation of a city that truly honors the humanity of its people.
