- Downtown Portland, the city center of Portland, Oregon, United States, is located on the west bank of the Willamette River. It is in the northeastern corner of the southwest section of the city and is where most of the city's high-rise buildings are found. The downtown area is usually considered to extend west from the Willamette to Interstate 405, and south from Union Station to just south of the Portland State University campus (also bounded by I-405). (The northeastern portion of this area is also part of the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood. ) High-density business and residential districts near downtown include the Lloyd District, across the river from the northern part of downtown, and the South Waterfront area, currently in development just south of downtown in the South Portland neighborhood. Portland's downtown is unique in that at its founding, streets were made narrow (64 ft wide) and blocks were made square and compact, 200 ft (61 m) on a side, to encourage easy walking and make more (relatively valuable) corner lots. (By comparison, Seattle's blocks are 240 by 320 ft, and Manhattan's east-west streets are divided into blocks that are from 600 to 800 ft long. ) The 264 ft (80 m) long combined blocks divide one mile (1.6 km) of road into exactly 20 separate blocks.
