Cities are grappling with a range of concerns such as an increase in unhoused population, drug overdose deaths, fears of violent crime, and the impact of COVID on downtown areas.
Traditionally progressive cities, like Portland, are emphasizing public safety issues over historic priorities like environmental and social justice, shifting their focus.
Portland's Clean Energy Fund, created by voters to cut emissions and promote economic opportunities in vulnerable communities, showcases a smart leadership approach for city resilience.
The fund, generated $587 million, offers a way for cities to ensure the thriving of all residents amid budget struggles, exemplifying inclusive city leadership.
