New Certificate in Urban Design:
The Graduate Certificate in Urban Design at Portland State University, a joint effort of the Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning and the Department of Architecture, has been created to offer planners, designers, architects, and others the opportunity to engage and incorporate in their own work the principles and methods of urban design. It utilizes the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan region as a laboratory, an urban place renowned for its use of urban design and attention to urban design concerns.

AICP Student Project Award Contemporary Issue
"Going Public! Strategies for Meeting Public Restroom Need in Portland's
Central City"
Portland State University, Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning
"Going Public" reports on the existing condition of Portland Central
City public restroom supply, demand, and need; provides an analysis of
management, funding, and policy alternatives; and recommends options for
meeting need. The project involved interviews with representatives from
over 20 stakeholder groups representing a range of Portland Central City
restroom interests, including neighborhood associations, social service
organizations, city bureaus, land owners, and nonprofit organizations.
Relief Works did case studies to gauge what other cities have done to
address public restroom needs and conducted an assessment of Portland
current public restroom facilities for safety, services provided, ADA
accessibility, building components, and maintenance.
