We can learn a great deal from the successes of other downtowns throughout the country. For this reason, the Downtown Denver Partnership created the Urban Exploration Program in 2008, bringing City leaders and public and private sector stakeholders in Downtown Denver together to learn about best practices in other cities.
The 2007 Downtown Area Plan – the 20 year vision for Downtown Denver’s development, passed by Denver City Council – provides the foundation upon which the trip is organized. In addition, the trip provides a wonderful opportunity for these 50 community leaders to network and immerse themselves in an educational setting where they can learn about infrastructure, economic development, transit and transportation and public private partnerships in other cities.
