15-Minute Neighborhoods

In September, we explored young people's conceptions of and desires for 15-minute neighborhoods.  In a 15-minute neighborhood, people can access their basic needs (parks, food, etc.) within 15 minutes of walking, biking, or transit. We worked with children in Whittier International Elementary School's English Language Learners class, an after school program at the Manhattan public housing site, and at Casey Middle School. 

Literature:
  • Growing Up Boulder's Report (see below)
  • Child in the City Blog:  Young People's Perspectives on "15 Minute Neighborhoods"​ 
  • BikeLife magazine's article on 15-Minute Neighborhoods featuring Growing Up Boulder here.
  • Growing Up Boulder's Detailed Site Reports:
    • Casey Middle School Report​
    • Whitter Elementary School Report
    • ​YSI Manhattan Report

Final Report

*Growing Up Boulder (GUB) is Boulder's child-friendly city initiative. A formal partnership between the City of Boulder, Boulder Valley School District, and the University of Colorado, GUB became a nonprofit in spring 2021 under the fiscal sponsorship of the Colorado Nonprofit Development Center (CNDC). Since 2009, GUB has worked with over 7,500 children and youth on more than 100 projects.
