Portland, Oregon, is consistently ranked as one of the country’s most
livable cities (and it was a Fast City in 2007). And it continues to show solid

the 28 largest U.S. metropolitan areas. A system of trains, streetcars,
buses, and aerial trams give the city one of the most diverse
transportation portfolios in the world. In this episode of e2, we find
out how have city planners integrated transportation planning into their
decision-making over the past 40 years?
