Bad@$$ neighborhood? Shut your mouth!
2011 November 12
For all of the planning/urban development geeks out there, finally, a scale we can all relate to. Students at my alma mater, Portland State University created a scale that takes into account the 20 minute neighborhood concept and added in variables unique to Portland, including coffee shops, MAX light rail stops, food cart pods (a must-have for any Portland Neighborhood), the bike network, beer shops and breweries, and other businesses catering to the late-night crowd, local Supportland merchants which encourage shoppers to buy local, and pinball machines. Check out the full discussion on vimeo for what makes neighborhoods “badass”. The full report is also here.
