The City of Denver

Paper Summary:

The study provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed and organizational literature concerning Denver. The paper discusses how Denver, Colorado was founded by early settlers in search of the abundant mineral resources offered by the future metropolis' site. The paper demonstrates that over the years, the city's isolation has compelled its leadership and business interests to invest heavily in a communications and transportation network that have served it well. Despite some setbacks in terms of economic and social issues over the years, the paper explains how the city of Denver has emerged as one of the country's major urban centers that should continue to enjoy positive economic growth in the future.

From the Paper:

"The research will show that Denver's geographic location and its natural resources have been inextricably linked with population growth and decline trends over the years that have been grouped into three distinct periods. According to Denver - a booming city (2000), "Denver is a clean, young and green city with over 200 parks and dozens of tree-lined boulevards. The architecture reflects the city's three boom periods: Victorian, when silver was discovered in Leadville; turn-of-the-century, when gold was discovered in Cripple Creek; and contemporary, when the energy boom added 16 skyscrapers to the downtown skyline in a three year period.""
