City of the Small

As PDX PIPELINE put it, "Less Junk in the Trunk: Is Portland Success Due to Size?" The question comes up because the CEOs for Cities blog wrote about a breakfast between PSU Prof. Ethan Seltzer, Stan Curtis, Joe Cortright, and Wilf Pinfold where the idea of Portland's success was because the smaller size leads to people bridging boundaries (the good side of how everyone knows everyone).
"Again, the issue of sustainability is key, however: operating on a small scale means that an organization (or a city) is likely nimble and entrepreneurial, but it can also mean that it's fragmented and fragile." -Portland: City of the Small
