Learning Development Lessons from Portland

Portland Oregon

This spring Ross Tuck, P.Eng, one of our senior engineers and Urban Development Institute (UDI) board member, went on a working visit to Portland for a tour of that city’s award-winning redevelopment of its South Waterfront area.

With him as a one-on-one tour guide was Lew Bowers, Director of the Portland Development Commission. The planning process for their two-block Old Town district, multi-use buildings, permanent housing, sustainable transit and social housing echoes the challenges facing Victoria and other Island communities.

“Through researching, making connections and examining firsthand the obstacles and the success of Portland, we can better contribute to our community,” said Jeff Tomlinson, Manager, Engineering, J.E. Anderson & Associates (JEA).

As a follow up to this event, the local branch of the Urban Development Institute invited Lew Bowers to speak at their annual luncheon on December 6. UDI president Mike Miller said in a Times colonist article, “Portland is one of the most progressive cities in North America when it comes to development, sustainability and mass transit, so his are extremely relevant to Victoria.” JEA is a proud supporter of the UDI and a gold sponsor of the UDI’s upcoming holiday event.
