This Eastbank Concept is an
economic development planLivability builds jobs in
our knowledge economy

Why do people move to Oregon?It’s not the weather.
It’s not the favorable tax structure.
It’s not to find jobs in a rapidly-expanding industrial base.
It’s not our educational system.
Yet, Oregon and Portland metro both grew by 20% in the 1990s. And unemployment hit record lows, despite the influx.
![Page 79: An Eastbank Initiative An Eastbank Initiative. City Vision Portland City Council 2001.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfc91a28abf838ca904a/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Livability means knowledge jobs
In keeping with 1984-2001 trends, companies existing in 1992 in the
Portland Metro area LOST 170,000 jobs by 1999.
Yet the Metro area gained 100,000 net jobs in the 1992-1993 period, with more
than 270,000 jobs being added from new, small companies started after 1992.
These jobs are in the knowledge economy--the result of what’s in people’s
brains.

Urban Life Attracts
Dynamic PeopleIn Metro areas like
Portland, both incomes and rents grew faster
nearer the central city in the 1990s.

Creative People Like Urban
DensityThey know density means theatres,
libraries, coffee shops, etc.

Entrepreneurs value their time
They know if they live near where they work, they spend less time
commuting.

Dense urban neighborhoods can incubate knowledge
communities.Ideas travel faster, too, in dense urban neighborhoods.
Look at Lower Manhattan in New York, or South of Market in San Francisco, for
excellent examples of knowledge company incubation. Business Services.
Multi-media companies. Creative companies.

The Regional Centers Strategy•Build more dense, sophisticated,
transit-oriented urban centers in our ‘regional centers’.
•Intense, high-capacity, multi-modal, multi-destinational transit in the suburbs -- buses, streetcars, and Metro light rail.
•Our region stays livable because density keeps the urban growth
boundaries intact.
•Walk to libraries, theatres, coffee shops, etc.
![Page 87: An Eastbank Initiative An Eastbank Initiative. City Vision Portland City Council 2001.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfc91a28abf838ca904a/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
We Propose a Marriage
•Marry our need for regional center infrastructure with our need for
industrial land.
•We need both strategies. One serves the knowledge economy by providing the land for new jobs, and the other serves the knowledge economy by
providing livable urban neighborhoods.
![Page 88: An Eastbank Initiative An Eastbank Initiative. City Vision Portland City Council 2001.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfc91a28abf838ca904a/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
We Propose a Marriage (2)
•Our regional centers economic development strategy relies on keeping the urban growth boundary for livability.
•To have enough industrial land within the UGB, you have to keep big box retail
out of industrial land, zone for more industrial land regionally, and prohibit
other uses.
•Not a conflict with our strategy.
