Smart Growth

Portland, Oregon—America’s poster city for antisprawl activists—embraced light-rail public transit (above) and other elements of “smart growth” years before sprawl became a serious public concern. In 1979 citizens here created what still is the country’s only popularly elected regional government, that mandated a boundary for urban growth, farmland preservation, and long-range planning goals. Now, city officials elsewhere, who are drowning in their own sea of sprawl, make pilgrimages to Portland to try to find a way out.
