Hour Two: Portland
Remote : Urban Planning
Portland, Oregon has a plan for development
-- and it doesn't include urban sprawl. Instead, there's a densely-populated
downtown, mixed-use neighborhoods, plenty of open space, and lots
of public transit options.
In this hour of Science Friday, we'll
be broadcasting from Portland. We'll talk about this city's urban
plan, as well as challenges to sustainable and responsible development
nationwide.
Call in with your questions and comments at 1-800-989-8255, and
share your opinions online in our Listeners' Lounge (registration required).
