Guiding sustainable urban design
"More than half of the world's population now lives in cities—and another 2.5 billion people are expected to move into urbanized areas by 2050. Although cities occupy just two percent of the earth's surfaces, they consume 78 percent of the world's energy and produce more than 60 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
As a result, urban design is playing an ever-increasing role in decisions that directly impact global energy use, water quality, habitat health, human health, and social equity. Any effort to successfully address sustainability must include a robust and thoughtful approach to urban design.

Our Campuses: Rooted in Portland since the 1880s

Now, we are moving into a sprawling new campus in the beautiful Concordia neighborhood of northeast Portland.
