American Planning Association Designates Ladd’s Addition
One of Top 10 Great Neighborhoods for 2009

The American Planning Association (APA) announced today that Ladd’s Addition has been designated one of 10 Great Neighborhoods for 2009 by APA's Great Places in America program. APA Great Places exemplify exceptional character and highlight the role planners and planning play in creating communities of lasting value.

APA singled out Ladd’s Addition for its radial street pattern, village green, extensive community gardens, and on-going commitment to planning and civic engagement. Developed as a Victorian-era residence park, Ladd’s Addition is Portland’s most heavily forested, inner-city neighborhood. It serves as an exemplary national model for other communities wanting to create compact, pedestrian-friendly places.
