Denver’s next chapter isn’t something we’re waiting for. We’re building it.
Last week, Richard Florida joined Denver leaders for a conversation about the city’s future and the opportunity ahead.
Denver has the talent. The ideas. The momentum.

21/ One approach I have thought about is to emulate the "teaching hospital" - developing a curriculum grounded in science, clinical protocols developed and tested in practice, and residents trained to use that knowledge to deliver quality care.

22/ That’s what we are trying to develop through Vanderbilt Cities at @VanderbiltU with @VanderbiltOwen - connect research, teaching and practice to help people work across sectors to build stronger cities and communities.
