Abstract
The study provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed and organizational literature concerning Denver, Colorado. The paper discusses how Denver 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 has 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.

"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.""

Abstract
This paper takes a look at Judy Mattivi Morley's book, 'Historic Preservation and the Imagined West: Albuquerque, Denver and Seattle'.
According to the paper, along with the cities of Albuquerque, New Mexico and Seattle, Washington, the city of Denver, Colorado has gone through many phases and many changes in its history. The paper discusses the clashes between preserving historic districts and bulldozing them down for "urban renewal".

From the Paper
"But during the Great Depression the square fell into hard times: "Pioneer Square's social deterioration mirrored its physical decline," Morley explained on page 71. More bad luck happened when there was an earthquake in 1948 that caused a lot of structural damage to buildings in Pioneer Square. Then in the late 1950s the Central Association of Seattle was created to upgrade the city's image and infrastructure, and the Seattle Center was built in 1962 for the World's Fair. In the late 1960s, the clean-up of Pioneer Square began, as buildings were renovated and artists, architects, interior designers who "liked the aesthetics of the old buildings" (Morley, 75) - along with young professionals who prized the proximity to downtown - began moving in."

From the Paper
"Often called one of the greatest of the 20th Century, Denver International Airport, as explained in the case study, had 64 separate problems that merited attention and solution. Because of this, the only way to identify the "Overall-clear cut problem which requires immediate attention" is to make an assumption that all of the 64 problem areas cited are actually subsets of the largest problem. After preparing a matrix of all the problems, it became apparent that the major problem is that at no time during the long time span identified in the case were the basic tenets of Project Management considered. Because of this failure, a project that was to cost a little over $1 billion cost almost $5 billion, and the final product was, and ..."

Abstract
This paper describes the massive failure of the Denver International Airport baggage handling system, identifying major factors leading to the failure and explaining how the system could have been developed better.

From the Paper
"The Denver International Airport (DIA) is twice the size of Manhattan at ... square miles and was designed to be the USA's largest airport. (Montealegre Keil) Due to the airport's unusual size, the City of Denver realized that baggage handling would be a critical issue and that the individual airlines could not address it adequately. (Montealegre Keil) The city determined to incorporate an airport-wide baggage handling system predicated on information technology, IT, that could handle luggage in a dramatically more efficient..."

Abstract
This paper selects five cities for a crime-rate comparison: Tucson, Arizona; Denver, Colorado; Palm Beach County, Florida; Charlotte-Mecklenburg, North Carolina; and Austin, Texas. Through an examination of the police websites of these cities, it discusses how, of those cities, Charlotte-Mecklenburg has a much greater incidence of violent crime than the other cities, while Tucson has a greater incidence of property crime than the other cities. It also looks at how Denver's property crime rate is the lowest, while the property crime rate in Denver and Palm Beach County was lower than the other cities, depending on the year. Additionally, the paper looks at how the violent crime rate appears relatively steady in the cities, though Denver saw a tremendous increase in violent crime in the year 2004.

From the Paper
"The website for the Tucson Police Department contains information on services, employment, crime statistics, and the Most Wanted. It also provides the user with the ability to search the site in a variety of methods. These search methods reveals general statistics, but can also be used to access full incident reports. The website reveals that the Tucson Police Department does utilize crime analysis units. Furthermore, the website shows some of the Tucson crime maps, which reveals that the Tucson Police Department does utilize crime maps. Those maps include: violent crime, property crime, burglary, auto theft, narcotics, domestic violence, and criminal damage. (Tucson Police Department). Compared to the other cities investigated, Tucson had an unusually high property crime rate. However, it is important to note that crime rates are impacted by a variety of factors, including crime-reduction efforts by police and victims, which make it more likely those individual criminal incidents will be reported, causing an apparent increase in the crime rates.

Abstract
The literature on the subject is vast and ranges from such major studies like Rosentraub's Major League Losers to numerous short journal articles. The overwhelming consensus in the literature is that policies directed at funneling public money into sports stadiums do not reap the benefits needed or hoped for by the cities. However, this paper argues that these articles and studies are misdirecting the failure to achieve benefits and have not truly determined the successes from publicly-funded sports stadiums. All of the studies have failed to recognize the shortcomings that the cities, not the policy, possessed. This paper answers the following question: in favorable economic, political, social, and structural conditions, can a publicly-funded sports stadium reap benefits for a city? In short, in the best of circumstances, can incentives for sports stadiums pay off? In answering this question, this paper presents a quick review of the literature on the subject recognizing the faults and shortcomings and analyzes the city of Denver, Colorado, in relation to its experience with Coors Field. The paper argues that, in the favorable conditions of Denver and the smart policy choices made by local officials, Coors Field proved a useful tool for revitalizing an area of downtown, facilitated the creation of new businesses, and spurred the development of housing in downtown. The sports stadium is a successful policy if it brings tens of thousands of people to the area for game day. To capture the benefits takes smart policy makers within the cities in question. The paper includes maps and tables.

From the Paper
"Unlike many cities, the city of Denver seeks to invest in all communities to make them the best and most diverse that they can be. This crime rate decrease and community investment has set the necessary backdrop for capturing economic benefits from people visiting downtown. Since they feel safe, they are much more likely to want to visit local establishments and spend money, thus creating an economic benefit for Denver. This is the most fundamental core policy and achievement that many American cities are failing at. When other cities publicly funded sports stadiums are being analyzed, this particular factor is nonexistent. The crime rate surrounding a stadium is paramount to what level of interactions game attendees will have in the area before and after the game and any study that fails to recognize this, fails to achieve any tangible results from their analysis."

Abstract
This paper discusses the feasibility of building a flying school near Denver, and the conditions for flying which are present in the region due to its proximity to Tornado Alley and the mountains.

From the Paper
"Denver, Colorado lies on the edge of an area known as Tornado Alley which is the area where the most intense killer tornadoes are likely to occur. This is an area where F and F tornadoes have struck multiple times in the past. Some people consider Tornado Alley just the area where tornadoes have struck most frequently where multiple tornado touchdowns have occurred year after year. However in a super tornado outbreak took place in Georgia, Illinois; Indiana, Kentucky; Michigan, Mississippi; North, Carolina; Ohio, South Carolina and Tennessee ..."

Abstract
This paper examines how virtually all police departments have some kind of formal "Code of Ethics", or guidelines, that tell the members of the police force what is and is not acceptable behavior. It looks at how the police in any community have tremendous power and how it's important that the officers to whom the public entrust their safety act in honorable and ethical ways. It explores how, because of the Internet, it is possible for concerned citizens and anyone else to view the codes of ethics for many police departments across the country. It compares and contrasts the Code of Conduct for Washington, D.C. and Denver and Detroit, which have nearly identical codes, word for word.

From the Paper
"Grundstein-Amado (2001) argues that codes of ethics should serve three purposes: to inform the public about the goals of the organization; to encourage an ethical climate within the organization; and provide a structure for resolving ethical questions. However, it could also be reasonably stated that informing the public about the goals of the organization might be better done with a mission statement and that no code of conduct could be detailed enough to provide a plan for resolving ethical questions, which could range from charges of decision-making based on race to taking bribes to unwarranted violence against arrestees."
