At the heart of River Renaissance is a commitment to improve the economy, ecology, and social aspects of the Willamette River simultaneously, recognizing that these interdependent systems are vital to Portland’s well being and are best considered as a whole.

The River Renaissance Strategy sets out policy guidance, measurement tools and a set of actions for the city’s river-related activities.
