It’s going to take more than a few isolated
individuals to put the squeeze on suburban sprawl, according to
Colorado Commons, a nonprofit think tank based in Longmont. With
that in mind, the group brings together policymakers,
environmentalists, developers and academics to address the state’s
urban growth problems. They recently sent the first issue of their
quarterly newsletter, Colorado Commons, to over 6,000 journalists,
academics, environmental groups, lawmakers and educators throughout
the West. It includes articles on urban planning, land-use reform,
state population projections, and a dose of utopian hopefulness.
“We want to be educational and informational in nature, to get
these issues on the table,” says co-founder Hank Goldstein. For a
free copy of the 48-page magazine, contact Goldstein at
