[William Milmoe]

While I know few on this list will be able to attend this event especially
on such short notice.  My hope is that some may and that this email will
help many of us to organize our neighbors, friends and families to do
similar activities right where we now are.

Thank you.

unique real-estate economy.

the September dialogue will provide a forum for industry-related
professionals and citizens to contribute toward a working model of
"collaborative
property development."  for the purposes of the dialogue, *collaborative
property development is defined as the grassroots, bottom-up, citizen-led
development of multifamily housing.*  The project is intended to teach
neighbors how to work together to utilize Portland's many resources for
nonProfit and "self-help" housing development, in order to diminish the risk
of new construction in a shaky real-estate market, and maximize the creative
excitement of design as a tool for personal,20civic, and social empowerment.


Four half-day segments will explore the context, development, design, and
construction related components of collaborative development.  panelists
include Brad Malsin of beam development, Kevin Cavenaugh of Tenpod
development, Judith Mowry of the office of neighborhood involvement, Bill
Cunningham of the Portland Planning Bureau, Shane Endicott of the Rebuilding
Ccenter, Craig Ragland of the Cohousing Association US, Eli Spevak of Orange
Splot development, Mark Lakeman of Communitecture – and many others – *coming
together to discuss the future of progressive property development +
architecture in Portland.  *

*please join us for this exciting dialogue, the weekend of September** 20 –
21st at city hall, and begin it now at www.motivespace.org!  *
