ustainability is a central value of the City of Denver and the community. To help make this a reality it is also a central goal of Denver's Comprehensive Plan.
Taking an action to implement this agenda, Mayor John Hickenlooper launched the Greenprint Denver Initiative to advance and further support the integration of environmental impact analysis into the city's programs and policies, alongside economic and social analysis.
Denver will track and report on its progress on priority goals through an annual Report Card. The City will also continue to seek new ideas from the its employees, citizens and the Mayor's Greenprint Council about how and where Denver can innovate, leverage resources, catalyze new projects and communicate the importance of sustainability as a public value to ensure that the community remains in as good or better shape than we found it.
Greenprint Denver is a long-term, citywide initiative to promote the importance of sustainable development and ecologically-friendly practices throughout the community.
With a comprehensive action agenda, the City aims to integrate environmental impact considerations into its programs and policies. Participation from the community is vital for the city to meet a series of goals over the next five years.
