DENVER SOUTH TOMORROW
THE METRO VI L L AG E
The TMA/EDP recommends that once again,
we look a little further ahead and see our
intended tomorrow, today.
We propose moving toward a hybrid suburban/
urban development model to preserve the lifestyle
qualities residents expect, while simultaneously
creating more close-in, multi-use environments
that don’t depend on automobiles.
We envision Metro Villages: a series of
connected, vibrant, pedestrian-friendly
districts, unified by classically Colorado
nuances and open, animated gathering places.
The Metro Village would be a dynamic live, work,
play walking district activated by social, cultural,
and recreational amenities surrounded by diverse
housing typologies, densities, and affordability.
Like the Piazzas of Rome, Metro Villages would be characterized
by vibrant epicenters that hold an attraction of their own, yet feel
quintessentially connected to a greater whole, understood as place.
