Get some on-the-ground experience of the many ways that one neighborhood can be designed to be resilient. Many cities face ongoing budget cuts, lack staff capacity, and often believe that “big projects” are the only ones that will have any impact on reducing their carbon footprint and creating a healthier community amid the impacts of climate change. This tour helps attendees understand that cities can implement many options to help keep residents cool during extreme heat, resilient to grid outages, and prepared for flooding. All these small-scale improvements are valuable.

Learning Objectives:

  • Using Denver as a case study, analyze various strategies that city planners and partner agencies can implement to adapt, mitigate, and become resilient to the impacts of climate change.
  • Define what resiliency means for Colorado and cities across the nation, including communities’ greatest vulnerabilities.
  • Advocate for change in your own community, applying the knowledge and understanding of the types of tools that may work best in its specific context.
