Iain Mackenzie, a senior associate at TVA Architects, has become a prominent voice in Portland's urban development discussions, sharing insights through various social media platforms. His coverage is marked by a personable and queer lens, bringing a fresh narrative to often dry topics like zoning plans. Despite not being a journalist by trade, Mackenzie’s enthusiasm for Portland's planning and design has made him a necessary follow for those interested in the city’s growth and vibrancy. His experiences in the city, from its robust walkability to his background in high-end residential remodels, enrich his commentary.
"I was drawn to a lot of things about Portland. It's not a stereotypical American city where it's endless sprawl into suburbia. You have lots of walkable city, walkable neighborhoods, a rather nice rail system and transit."
"Mackenzie has given Portland's planning an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, queer perspective that the city has always deserved and rarely gotten."
