SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD
Vision of a Sustainable Lake Oswego
A sustainable Lake Oswego is a community that meets the vital human needs of the present without
compromising our ability to meet future needs. This requires consideration of both long-term and short-
term effects on ecological, economic, and community systems. Operating sustainably means that we are
leaving a legacy for the community of Lake Oswego and the planet.
A sustainable Lake Oswego is a place recognized nationally as a model of livability—a unified city with a
vital downtown, a strong sense of neighborhoods, and a harmonious relationship with the natural
environment. The lives of everyone who lives, works, and conducts business in Lake Oswego are
enriched by a wide range of choices in transportation, housing, recreation, and culture. Our
infrastructure is sound, our finances stable, and our citizens and employees healthy and engaged.
