Denver compared to similar cities under a Baseline Economic Scenario for the Transit Upzoning Policy Scenario
Across all policy and economic scenarios, Denver's projected development is generally half that of San Diego and five to six times greater than Tucson's. However, these margins shift depending on the economy: in favorable conditions, Denver's growth can reach 75% of San Diego's, while in unfavorable conditions, it can outpace Tucson by up to ten times.
Note: Each city is modeled independently against the status quo. Values represent individual city impacts, not cumulative effects.
