South Platte River Integration Plan

Denver, Colorado

The South Platte River Integration Plan was developed to supplement a larger coordinated effort between the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the City and County of Denver (CCD), the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) and the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB). The larger effort is called the Denver Urban Waterways Restoration Feasibility Study. The purpose of the South Platte River Integration Plan is to identify City investments over the next 10 years that further connect and bring people to the South Platte River and activate the river corridor. The Plan integrates ideas from previous neighborhood planning efforts and other current planning efforts and takes a broader look to ensure the linkages are in place to connect people to the South Platte River from the adjacent communities. The Plan also identifies opportunity areas along the South Platte River for potential future development or expanded park areas.

Livable Cities Studio led the development of the integration plan and multiple City charrettes.
