New resource for improving the design of infill development now available

Portlanders have a new tool to help improve the design of infill development in their neighborhoods.

Published by the Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, “The Infill Design Toolkit: A guide to integrating infill development into Portland’s neighborhoods” serves as a resource for community members; builders, designers, neighbors and others – all who are involved in designing, building or participating in dialogue about the new development that continues to shape the form of Portland’s neighborhoods.
