With the exit of B-Cycle from the bike-sharing community and a request for proposal to be sent out for a new vendor to replace it, it is time to look to the future when it comes to bikeshare. In the year 2020, what does a successful bike-sharing system look like? DENVER HOMES BY DECADE PROJECT Denver Homes By Decade Project In 2012, DenverUrbanism launched an ambitious project to document the geographical and architectural attributes of Denver's 128,000-plus single-family detached homes—decade by decade. Our collaboration with local urban photographer and armchair-architect Mark Zakrzewski resulted in a 15-post series featuring over 30 maps, a variety of special exhibitsand
DENVER’S RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS—WHO ARE THEY FOR Denver’s vision of inclusivity and affordability can only come true if we allow our neighborhoods to become complete with housing options. The 1–4 unit structures fill the “missing middle” housing gap allowing residents who cannot afford or don’t want to live in a single-family home or a high-rise apartment to live near the urbancore.

News, ideas, and commentary about urbanism in the Mile High City DENVER’S SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES BY DECADE: 1970S From 1970 to 1979, approximately 8,000 single-family detached homes were built in Denver, the fewest number since the Depression-era 1930s. Despite the city’s territorial expansion through annexation and the construction of these new homes, more people moved out of the city than moved in during the 1970s. Denver lost population for thefirst
DENVER’S HISTORIC INTER-OCEAN HOTEL Denver’s Historic Inter-Ocean Hotel. The Inter-Ocean Hotel, 1436 16th Street, graced the corner of 16th and Blake Streets for one hundred years. Opening to the public on October 29, 1873, the hotel was the creation of Denver pioneer Barney Ford—Colorado’s most prominent black businessman. William N. Byers, editor of the RockyMountain
DENVER’S SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES BY DECADE: 1890S The 1890s was the city’s fourth full decade of existence. From that decade, about 5,900 single-family homes are still in existence today, comprising about 70% of Denver’s surviving Nineteenth century housing stock. As Mark notes below, the city experienced in this decade the worst economic crisis in its history: the Silver Crash of1893.
WALKING IN DENVER PART 1: WHOSE SIDEWALK IS IT ANYWAY Happiness: On the brighter side, a recent Gallup-Healthways report found that cities that promote active living have happy and healthier residents overall. Denver’s well-being score ranked 13th among major U.S. metros. Sidewalks and safe places for people to walk (or run, or push a stroller) are a fundamental piece of the active living puzzle, opening up doors to walking as transportation 17TH AND WYNKOOP: DOWNTOWN’S MOST IMPORTANT PEDESTRIAN With the 2014 opening of the Denver Union Station project, it seems like the epicenter of Downtown shifted dramatically to the northwest. In many ways, Union Station now feels like the heart of Downtown, and this is before next year's launch of RTD's new rail lines and the completion of almost a dozen more infill developments in the area. LEARN TO LOVE THE BUS WITH A MAP OF RTD’S BEST ROUTES Learn to love the bus with a map of RTD’s best routes. Do you know which RTD bus routes come often enough to take without worrying about a timetable? This new map illustrates exactly that, by adding bus routes that come at least every 15 minutes all day to the well-known FasTracks rail map.

BIKE TO THE FUTURE—MY NEW YEAR’S WISH FOR BIKE SHARING IN DENVER With the exit of B-Cycle from the bike-sharing community and a request for proposal to be sent out for a new vendor to replace it, it is time to look to the future when it comes to bikeshare. In the year 2020, what does a successful bike-sharing system look like? How should a preferred vendor by the City and County of Denver operate in the age of dockless bikeshare such as Jump and competition from venture capital? How should we build on the success of B-Cycle? As a cyclist*
