Building a Stronger Denver

About Strong Denver

The Suburban Experiment is proving costly and unsustainable leading to several key issues:

A nationwide housing crisis
Dangerously designed streets
A lack of transparency in city finances
Endless highway expansion
Huge, wasteful expanses of parking

Thousands of people across North America are actively working to transform their cities into safer, more livable, and financially resilient communities. Are you ready to join our movement?

Our Principles

Incremental Housing

We seek to have the next increment of development intensity allowed, by right, in every neighborhood in America. Learn more.

Safer and Productive Streets

We seek to shift the priority of local streets from automobile throughput to human safety and wealth creation. Learn more.

End Parking Mandates and Subsidies

We seek an end to the mandates and subsidies that cause productive land to be used for motor vehicle storage. Learn more.

Transparent Local Finances

We seek to reveal the financial implications of the Suburban Experiment by increasing the transparency of local government accounting practices. Learn more.

End Highway Expansion

We seek to curtail the primary mechanism of local wealth destruction and municipal insolvency: the continued expansion of America’s highways and related auto-based transportation systems. Learn more.

Our Initiatives

Conducting Crash Analyses

We identify dangerous streets and roads, show how they are failing, and provide actionable recommendations. See our first analysis here.

Abolishing Parking Minimums

Following the passage of HB 24-1304, we advocate for the complete abolition of parking minimums.

Streamlining Incremental Housing

We endeavor to provide resources and streamline bureaucracy to enable infill housing as quickly and easily as possible.

Improving Transit

Partnering with other advocacy organizations, we push to improve transit alternatives and end extreme auto dependency.

Advocating for Zoning Reform

We are advocates of traditional urban development patterns that foster rich, varied, walkable and prosperous communities. We seek to end single-use zoning that separates residential and commercial areas.
