Reimagine Your Downtown was created by the 2014 class of the Downtown Denver Partnership Leadership Program, which was assigned the idea "Tactical Urbanism: Transforming Spaces into Places" and in response developed nine projects that will fill downtown this weekend."We took a unique approach this year in how we wanted the Downtown Denver Leadership Program to culminate their work by making a two-day event out of it. This is the first year that we challenged the class to actually implement their projects that will physically transform an overlooked or underutilized space in Downtown Denver. We wanted to give the groups the opportunity to showcase their creative ideas to the public, with the hope that other individuals walk away inspired and begin wondering how they may be able to implement an urban intervention of their own," says Jim Kirchheimer, Senior Vice President of Economic Development for the Downtown Denver Partnership.
