Sustainable Neighborhood Network

City of Portland Sustainable Neighborhoods Program

The City of Portland has joined Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Denver and Fort Collins as the newest member of the Sustainable Neighborhoods Network! 

The City of Portland Sustainable Neighborhoods Program gives residents the opportunity to become active partners in making Portland a vibrant and sustainable community. Neighborhoods participating in this unique certification program use guidance from city staff to organize workshops, projects and events that enhance the livability of their neighborhood and reduce residents' ecological footprint. Participating neighborhoods earn program credits for their efforts and, depending on the number of credits earned in a given year, they may receive City designation as a “Participating Sustainable Neighborhood” or an “Outstanding Sustainable Neighborhood” from the City.

The Office of Sustainability at the City of Portland is pleased to participate in the Sustainable Neighborhood Network. This program supports Portland’s neighborhoods in deepening their sustainability efforts while getting support and recognition from the City.
