This was a conversation about the character of places and neighborhoods that explored the interweaving of history and historic fabric, the arts, and social issues.

Moderated by Nick Fish (City Commissioner, Portland, Oregon, and President Emeritus of the St. Mark's Historic Landmark Fund), our distinguished panel considered the agenda for creating and sustaining vibrant, unique neighborhoods for a diverse and equitably engaged citizenry.
