Hi all,
The Office of Neighborhood Involvement is hosting an all-day series of workshops and discussions, called the "In It Together" Community Summit, on February 28th at the convention center.
An example of one of the workshops:
Managing Neighborhood Growth & Change: Strategies &
Tools for Influencing Neighborhood Design and Facilitating Greater
Community Input: Portland is experiencing unprecedented growth
and development that is rapidly impacting the density, form and
character of existing neighborhoods. As we grapple with how to
accommodate new development into existing communities, many
neighborhoods are using creative strategies and tools to influence the
form and design of new development. Hear from Neighborhood Association
representatives how they are creating their own residential and
commercial design guidelines to articulate community design priorities
and preferences for new development. Join us to learn about these tools
and other creative strategies you can use to facilitate greater input
and community involvement in shaping your neighborhood.
