Denver: The next frontier of urbanist blogging.

Greater Greater Washington utterly transformed Washington’s urbanist community. Before GGW arrived on the scene there were a handful of local urban blogs (including BeyondDC), but not much of a community, and our influence was minimal. GGW changed all that. It’s had an incredibly positive effect on the progressive urban agenda for this city.

Regular readers may be aware that I have roots in Colorado. Although most of my formative growing-up years were spent in Gaithersburg, I was born in Denver and received my planning degree from the University of Colorado.

Therefore, I’m really excited to be part of what is essentially a GGW clone for Colorado. DenverUrbanism.com is a new group blog from the creator of the fabulous development-tracking website Denver Infill. The new blog will provide news and opinion about transportation, development, and other urban issues along Colorado’s Front Range.

Generally, my contributions to DU.com will be cross-posts of content originally produced for BeyondDC and GGW. Whenever I write about something with national implications, I’ll publish it both here and there.

But I’m only one contributor among a team, so if you’re at all interested in Colorado or want to help their nascent urbanist community get going, head over and check it out: DenverUrbanism.com
