Description

The history of the Pearl District's evolution began in the 1970s. Later in the mid-1980s, developers and their investors bought and repurposed old warehouses, thereby introducing a new urban lifestyle to Portlanders. By 2022, the district's vibrant street life had returned following the disruption attributed to past social unrest and the Covid-19 public health crises uncertainty. Sidewalk café dining was back, and area art galleries admitted visitors again. The book's key theme is placemaking from the ground up, as local artists became active participants in the transition of an old industrial-manufacturing area into a vibrant, diversely populated mixed-use urban community. The Pearl, nationally acclaimed as a successful urban design story, became an urban renewal model other cities wanted to emulate. Many people traveled to Portland to discover how this transformation had occurred. That's what this story's about. Was there a secret sauce, and if so, what was it?
