12 Big Ideas To Fix Downtown

Описание: The bad news just keeps rolling in for downtown Denver — more restaurants have closed (https://www.westword.com/restaurants/...) , office buildings are hitting their highest vacancy rates since the ’90s (https://www.denverpost.com/2024/01/25...) , and yet another clean and safe initiative (https://www.westword.com/news/city-co...) aims to combat the “toilet bowl” (https://twitter.com/alex_burness/stat...) reputation. But what else could be done? Politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to brainstorm a list of innovative, interesting, out-there, and completely free ideas that could be the magic solution to downtown’s ongoing woes.


Bree mentioned the Cinderella City Project (   • Cinderella City Mall Simulation - v0.7 Upd...  ) , pencil smokestack art (https://www.denverpost.com/2014/12/12...) , and Lawrence Halprin’s original Skyline Park (https://www.tclf.org/landscapes/skyli...) design. She also talked about our episode on the likelihood of changing downtown’s empty office buildings into housing (https://denver.citycast.fm/podcasts/c...) .
