A Tale of Two (Port) Cities
What lessons can Singapore (a steamy, Southeast Asian city-state) and Portland, Oregon (an often chilly, Pacific Northwest mid-sized city) teach each another? Let's find out. Join an expat landscape architect /urban designer on a journey of discovery and exploration as I leave behind 20 years spent above the 45th parallel to experience life and work next to the equator.
Although primarily targeted towards friends and colleagues back in Oregon, I am happy to have others along for the ride - especially those interested in urban living, high quality places, good food, and healthy living. I assert that these topics - and comparisons between these two cities - are particularly relevant as growth either enhances or threatens the places we live, work, and love.
