What Portland Has Gone Through to Become a Model for Urban Development in the World
The 5th International Conference on Government Performance
Management and Leadership 2017

Under the theme: Toward Smart Growth and Sustainable Solutions
Organized by: Faculty of Local Administration, Khon Kaen University
This video is not only highly beneficial for principles that can be applied to develop cities like Portland into successful, sustainable urban environments, but it is also suitable for city executives and leaders of various organizations who should pay attention to Portland's urban experiences, including the obstacles they faced and how they resolved them. From what I observed after watching the entire video, their initial challenges were similar to those of many major cities worldwide. However, they adhered to three key principles. What could these be? The Smart Growth Thailand team recommends watching the video. I assure you that if you understand these principles, you too can transform your city into a livable place, just like the former mayor of Portland, Mr. Charles Hales, who is the keynote speaker in the video shared in this article.
