Portland Regional Vision: The 2040 Growth Concept Making the Greatest Place The Metro Council works with local leaders and people throughout the region to create sustainable and prosperous communities for present and future generations. When someone asks you why you live in the Portland metropolitan area, what do you say? Chances are you love this place and choose to live here for many reasons. Whether your roots are generations deep or newly planted, you are part of a community that treasures the nature around us, the neighborhoods and businesses that sustain us and our shared commitment to preserving our quality of life. The quality of life we enjoy here is the result of conscious decisions and hard choices made by citizen leaders, business owners and elected officials to protect farms and forest land, preserve the character of single-family neighborhoods, revitalize commercial districts, invest in transportation options and safeguard our clean air, clean water and healthy ecosystems. As our population continues to grow, the Metro Council is committed to protecting the things we love about this place and charting a wise course for the future.
