Plangreen

Plangreen is a passionate advocate for sustainable urbanism and green infrastructure in Portland, Oregon. With a focus on regenerating communities, they aim to address the negative impact of surface parking lots in downtown Portland, known as "treeless asphalt deserts," by encouraging new development and implementing eco-friendly solutions such as installing trees and bioswales to manage stormwater onsite.

Through their blog and services, Plangreen seeks to raise awareness about the health and well-being issues caused by surface parking lots, including noise and air pollution, high temperatures, and aesthetic degradation. They propose market-based solutions, such as taxing land at a higher rate than buildings, to incentivize the transformation of these lots into vibrant and sustainable spaces that benefit downtown residents and visitors alike.
