SUSTAINABLE CITIES/Portland - Healthy Connected City Network

The Healthy Connected City strategy is designed to accelerate the shift to active transportation modes, simultaneously revitalizing neighborhoods and realizing the health, affordability, and livability benefits of transit, walking, and cycling. The “20-minutes Neighborhood Analysis” was created to assess the “completeness” of neighborhoods and analyzes the walkability and access to services that vary across the city. The analysis considers both the proximity to local amenities, parks, schools, etc., and the ability to access these destinations in terms of street connectivity, sidewalks, transit service and topography. This information serves to evaluate progress towards the Healthy Connected City goals as well as to diagnose specific investment needs in different areas of the city.
