Interactive map of Portland
Much of the U. S. city of Portland, Oregon is built to a grid plan oriented north/south and east/west. However, the streets in the central downtown area are aligned to magnetic north—presumably at the time the area was platted—and so is oriented about 19.25° eastward.[1]
The city is rated highly in "walkability", bicycle-friendliness and public transport provision. Urban growth has been controlled by the Metro planning authority since the 1970s.
