Denver’s Changing Neighborhoods<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rocky Mountain PBS<\/a><\/em> – As cities age across the country, there is a movement to maintain infrastructure by also changing a community’s way of life. In Denver, it is called a\u00a0 ‘Living Street’ — an area that supports mobility (mass-transit to biking to walking to, even, automobiles), public interaction and economic development through the planning and repurposing of urban land near transit lines.<\/p>\n

In a series of short videos, Rocky Mountain PBS — as a part of Blueprint America<\/em> — depicts the varying aspects of the Denver Living Streets Initiative, and the rebuilding of Denver.<\/p>\n

Colorado State of Mind<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rocky Mountain PBS<\/a><\/em> – Colorado is growing. In 1950, Colorado\u2019s population was just over 1.3 million. By 1980, nearly 3 million. During the 1990s, the state added over one million inhabitants, or about 275 people each day. In 2000, Colorado had 4.3 million residents. In the Denver metro area alone, some 2.8 million people live there — and by 2030, Denver\u2019s population is expected to grow by 1 million.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the state is trying to grow its infrastructure to meet the demands of its growing population. The Denver metro area already has an extensive public transit system<\/a>, and is seeking to expand it with more light-rail in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Colorado State of Mind<\/em> on Rocky Mountain PBS — as a part of Blueprint America<\/em> — talks with Colorado’s state planners to see how the state is managing its infrastructure.<\/p>\n
