The goal will be achieved by focusing on the following actions and policies:39

•Prioritize human and environmental health and safety. Decisions must consider impacts on human and environmental health and safety and prioritize actions to reduce disparities and inequities.

•Promote complete and vibrant neighborhood centers. The neighborhoods must provide businesses and services; housing that is easily accessible by foot, wheelchair, bike, and transit; healthy food; and parks and other gathering places.

•Develop city connections, greenways, and corridors. A system of habitat connections, neighborhood greenways, and civic corridors will weave nature into the city and sustain healthy, resilient neighborhoods, watersheds, and Portlanders.

Visions for Mekong towns, defined through an open and participatory process and which incorporate the ideas of environmental sustainability and climate change, provide a strong and transparent policy direction for guiding development through the urban planning process.
