  • The World Class City 1982-2014.Pdf
    7. The World Class City—City Planning and Reinvestment, 1983-2014 By Thomas H. Simmons and R. Laurie Simmons with contributions by Mary Therese Anstey 7.1. Introduction1 Denver’s most recent era, 1983-2014, presents two sharply contrasting phases—a period of overbuilding, economic collapse, population loss, and slow recovery (1983-90) and a time of substantial population growth, neighborhood revival, and unprecedented civic and private investment (1990-2014). The city lost nearly 50,000 inhabitants between 1970 and 1990 but then added almost 200,000 people between 1990 and 2014. Denver ended the period as the nation’s twenty-first most populous city with a population of 663,862 and a rapidly expanding economy. Writing in 1990, historians Stephen J. Leonard and Thomas J. Noel captured the mood of the era at its fulcrum: As the 1990s dawned the metropolitan area seemed to be stuck in a nearly motionless car at a low point on the roller coaster. Despite an economy reminiscent of the 1860s, the 1890s, and the 1930s, Denverites hoped to resume their uphill climb. In the 1860s they built railroads to pull them out of their slump; in the 1890s they realized the importance of diversity; in the 1930s they looked to the federal government to bail them out. In the 1990s they dreamed old dreams on a grand scale: They hoped that the government would continue to spend; they expected that a new convention center would lure more tourists; and they started building a great airport.2 To lead the city through this turbulent period, voters elected four Democrats: Federico Peña (1983-91), Wellington Webb (1991-2003), John Hickenlooper (2003-11), and Michael Hancock (2011-present).

  • Leadership Research Reports 2012
    Leadership Research Reports Leadership Book Reports from the Class of 2012 January, 2012 Regional Institute for Health and Environmental Leadership Denver, Colorado 1 Preface Leadership Research During the Advanced Leadership Training Program participants study two leadership paradigms together. After building this foundation in leadership research and theory, each participant then chooses a third perspective on leadership to study. The third book may be about a leader, a leadership model, or a leadership situation. The participant is given the task to become the expert on this approach to leadership. Participants develop a 1-2 page summary of this view of leadership. It may be an executive summary of the book, and/or an annotated model or chart. The goal is to share with others the highlights of, and the most important lessons from, their leadership research. During the Advanced Leadership Training Program the participants teach one another about the leadership paradigms they have mastered. The summaries here are to inspire all of us to explore new perspectives on leadership. The leadership research summaries are organized alphabetically by title of the book and are listed in the table of contents. ii Table of Contents Contents Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage, Alfred Lansing (Basic Books, 2007).
