coalition for a liveable future (clf)
1000 Friends of Oregon is a statewide non-profit organization with over 5,000 individual members throughout Oregon committed to the protection of Oregon's communities and countryside through sensible land use planning. The Coalition for a Livable Future is a non-profit organization in the Portland region that includes approximately sixty environmental, social justice, affordable housing, neighborhood, and religious groups united by a common belief that the problems of many American metropolitan areas can best be addressed by bringing people together across issues to work on creative regional solutions. These organizations are committed to participating in this process to ensure that if the urban growth boundary is expanded, the development of the area brought into it offers a model for "Smart Growth".

The community design workshop will involve area residents, landowners, urban design experts, and developers who may have a financial stake in developing the area. Also participating will be elected and appointed officials from Clackamas County and nearby cities (Happy Valley, Gresham), public service providers, and representatives from groups promoting affordable housing, transportation choices, quality urban design, support of local food systems, economic vitality, and the protection of fish and wildlife habitat and natural resources.
The project will draw on the expertise of Patrick
Condon, James Taylor Chair of Landscape Architecture at the University
of British Columbia. Professor Condon has organized urban design planning
processes at the same or larger scales in New Jersey, Florida, California
and British Columbia. The project will also include other Smart Growth
organizations in the West that might be in a position to help replicate
the experience in their areas.
