As we finish out 2019, the city of Denver is already planning into 2040 with Denveright's comprehensive plan for œa more inclusive, connected and healthy city for all of us. This in-depth look at Denver's future all began with input from the city's current residents. Smartapproach, Denveright!
FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE
It started with a simple question: œWhat's Your Vision for Denver? Through the deployment of an enthusiastic street team, workshops, surveys, think tanks, and task forces, the city asked this question of its residents over and over during a three year period. Common themes and words that resonated with Denver locals were: active, inviting, diverse, inclusive, connected, safe, affordable, accessible, friendly, and connected to the outdoors. These basic principles became the foundation for the œsix elements of vision that emerged to help shape Comprehensive Plan 2040.
