The
Downtown Denver Partnership has launched
CityTalk Denver, a community engagement website where the downtown community can communicate and collaborate with leaders and other residents on what it takes to build a great city.
The site was created to help move the Downtown Area Plan forward, says Tami Door, President and CEO of the Downtown Denver Partnership.
"CityTalk Denver seeks input in how the entire plan moves forward and gives our community a voice around policy and planning and projects that strengthen downtown’s fabric and make it economically, socially and environmentally more vital," Door says.
CityTalk Denver encourages civic engagement by allowing members of the community to contribute from anywhere at any time to share a broad range of ideas, solutions and feedback. The site leverages the power of the Internet and social media to connect the Partnership with members of the community who might not have the opportunity, resources or time to get involved and allows the Partnership to track ideas and acknowledge people's input and create a dialogue with the broader community.
"It is often said that it takes a village, and CityTalk Denver gives a platform for users to discuss, learn, collaborate and strategize ways to build our city and influence policy," says Elbra Wedgeworth, Chairwoman of the Downtown Denver Partnership.
