A neighborhood where residents can live and work and get to the grocery store, a doctor's office, school or day-care, public transit and other common needs easily and without always having to rely on using a car.
Complete neighborhoods bring together attainable housing and jobs, as well as alternative modes of transportation.
Blueprint Denver defines a complete neighborhood as, "A neighborhood where all residents have safe and convenient access to the goods and services needed in daily life. This includes a variety of housing options, fresh food and other commercial services, open spaces and recreational facilities, affordable active transportation options, high quality transit, and civic amenities. An important element of a complete neighborhood is to meet the needs of people of all ages and abilities."
