"Denver's Stapleton. Green urban infill for the masses?"

When Stapleton International Airport shuttered its doors in 1995, it would have been easy to raze it and replace it with conventional suburban sprawl.  It would have been even easier to leave it to rust.  But some years before the airport's closing, a group of civic-minded leaders cast an eye toward the future and created the Stapleton Development Foundation.  Spurred by the tenets of New Urbanism, the Foundation gave birth to a strategy to revitalize the area.  Today, driven by the concept of "sustainability," this 4,700-acre site is rapidly on its way to becoming one of Denver's greatest neighborhoods. 

 

 

 

 

When we say that Stapleton is a prime example of New Urbanism, what exactly does that mean?

 

Let's answer that question by asking a different question:  When you close your eyes and think of the suburbs, what's the first thing you see?  Do you think of uncontrolled sprawl?  Perhaps your mind jumps to the fact that many suburban cities and towns have the same eight or 10 chain restaurants, a handful of the same "big box" stores, strip malls on every block and no true identity.  Or maybe you think of cookie-cutter "communities" where there's no sense of community, but rather a mass of people living in houses that look remarkably alike.

 

And if that's the life for you, we won't begrudge you that for a minute.  Many people live a comfortable, successful existence in suburbia, and they're perfectly happy there.

 

But …

 

What if you could live in a place where there was still easy access to all of the amenities of a big, sprawling city, but instead of being overly reliant on the automobile, was centered on a more pedestrian-friendly means of transport?  Where your workplace, your shopping, your cultural options, your recreation and your schools were within a 10-minute stroll on walkways that resembled more of a village green than a concrete jungle?

 

What if, instead of being limited to large chain superstores with the same look and feel, you could shop in stores that featured quality architecture focusing on aesthetics and comfort? 

 

What if, instead of mass-produced housing that looks the same as the houses down the street, on the next block and in the next town, you could select from distinctive residential choices that were as unique and individual as you are? 

 

This is New Urbanism.  And this is Stapleton.
