The Foundation for Sustainable Urban Communities

In 1995, the Foundation published the Master Development Plan, commonly known as the Green Book, in partnership with the Citizens Advisory Board (CAB), the Tomorrow Committee and the City and County of Denver. More than twenty years later, the Master Development Plan is still considered a visionary model of how cities can break the pattern of urban sprawl.

SDC

In November 1995, the City and County of Denver and the Denver Urban Renewal Authority (DURA) signed a cooperation agreement to create the private, non-profit SDC as a vehicle to lease and sell former airport property. SDC was created to serve as the primary vehicle for selling and leasing airport property and entered into a Master Lease and Disposition Agreement (MLD) with the City in July 1998. The MLD gives SDC the responsibility to maintain and lease the former airport property for 15 years, an option to purchase the property, and the authority to sell parcels for uses consistent with the Development Plan.  With development substantially complete the SDC has begun to wind down.
