We plan Portland's future by building upon the City's distinct historic, cultural and natural assets to achieve a livable and sustainable built and natural environment, exemplified by dignified and engaging public spaces, a strong sense of community, and a diversity of healthy neighborhoods and business districts comprising a vibrant urban center.

The Planning Division, headed by Division Director Alex Jaegerman, is responsible for the coordination of all long-range and current planning functions in Portland in order to ensure the long-term sustainability and vitality of Portland.

The Planning Division has a staff of twelve and is organized into four operational offices: Comprehensive Planning, Development Review, Historic Preservation and Public Art. The Division provides staff support to the City’s Planning Board, the Historic Preservation Committee and the Public Art Committee.
