Abstract

In 1992, the Atlantic Monthly sent me to Portland, Oregon, to find out how that city, in a span just short of twenty years, had turned a run-of-the-mill downtown into one most appealing in the nation. At that time, the city’s population had risen to 446,000 and was growing nearly 20 percent per decade, and Portland was on its way to becoming the star of American urban planning.

Comerford reports that years after coining the Pearl District’s name, Thomas Augustine changed his story and claimed that the district was named for a world traveler from Ethiopia. Al Solheim, in a Sept. 21, 2014, e-mail to me, said that the Ethiopian story is “not correct.”

Developer Homer Williams said that he and others worried that placing rocks and steps in Jamison Square would turn the park into a magnet for skateboarding teenagers. To avoid that, landscape architect Peter Walker added flowing water, which had the unintended consequence of making the park a busy play area for children.
