Abstract
The Lents Town Center in Portland, Oregon necessitates a catalyst to
effect change. In order to stimulate revitalization of this historic
neighborhood, I propose a mixed-use development integrally tied to
mass-transportation. By anchoring the block with a contemporary
reinterpretation of a public library, the project will acknowledge and
address residents’ low academic achievement and lack of workforce
skills. The services of the Library will enable residents to join in
the prosperity that development brings, while assimilating new higher
income residents into the existing community.
