The Working Waterfront remains a linchpin for Portland's economy. Dr. Carl Abbott, a professor of Urban Studies and Planning at Portland State University, has authored this informative white paper. Within its pages, Dr. Abbott reminds us of why and how Portland's industrial districts and working waterfront benefit the city and region.

The Working Waterfront Coalition and Schnitzer Steel invite you to download and read the white paper, and, if you desire, share it with others. If you prefer to receive a hard copy of the report, please contact Ann Gardner at  or (503) 417-2041.
