【行走美國史-波特蘭下】美國史上西岸第二大城，如今卻淪為一座空城！？

上一集，我們回顧了波特蘭在鍍金時代的崛起與繁華。本集，我們將走入波特蘭市中心，一探那些鐵路富豪與資本巨擘，為這座城市留下的輝煌遺產。然而時間走到第二次世界大戰，波特蘭成為全美第一個驅逐日裔美國人的城市，也為這座城市烙下了深刻的族群撕裂。
進入20世紀後，波特蘭與西雅圖的競爭日趨白熱，最終西雅圖脫穎而出，成為太平洋西北的領頭羊。究竟，是哪些關鍵因素讓波特蘭逐漸失去主導地位？
而在今日，這座曾經風華一時的城市，卻成為遊民遍地、人潮稀落的「空城」。本集將帶你抽絲剝繭這段歷史脈絡，也一併造訪至今仍讓旅人流連忘返的市區景點與文化地標。

In the previous episode, we revisited Portland’s rise and opulence during the Gilded Age. In this episode, we head into downtown Portland to explore the grand legacy left behind by railroad tycoons and industrial magnates.

However, as history moved into the era of World War II, Portland became the first city in the United States to forcibly remove Japanese Americans—leaving a lasting scar of racial division on the city’s identity.

As we entered the 20th century, the rivalry between Portland and Seattle intensified. Eventually, Seattle emerged as the leading city of the Pacific Northwest. But what were the key factors that caused Portland to gradually lose its dominance?

Today, this once-glorious city is marked by empty streets and a visible homelessness crisis, earning it the nickname of a “ghost city.” In this episode, we unravel the historical threads behind Portland’s transformation—while also visiting some of the few remaining must-see landmarks that continue to enchant travelers from around the world.
