Blueprint Denver

Blueprint Denver is a citywide land use and transportation plan that was first adopted in 2002 and updated in 2019. The plan covers a 20-year period, and calls for growing an inclusive city through:

complete neighborhoods and complete transportation networks;
a measured, common-sense approach to new growth;
and for the first time, land-use decisions through the lens of social equity.

Each year, Community Planning and Development will measure outcomes related to the plan goals, policies, and strategies in Blueprint Denver.
