  • 2009 Rocky Mountain EXPO and Fall Forecast: The Future City Beautiful

    Tuesday, November 10 - Tuesday, November 10 | 7:30 a.m. - 6 p.m., Reception immediately following program

    The University of Denver (Franklin L. Burns School of Real Estate and Construction Management) and the Denver Metro Commercial Board of REALTORS® (DMCAR) have presented the Rocky Mountain Commercial Real Estate EXPO and Fall Forecast (EXPO) to the Metro Denver commercial real estate industry. Each year the EXPO is draped in an interesting theme that is exciting and timely to the commercial real estate business. This year's theme is "The Future City Beautiful."

    The City Beautiful Movement has its roots in the radical redesign in the 1860's of Paris. Transforming much of the medieval city with broad tree lined streets, including parks, public monuments and buildings. Later, as a result of the 1893 Chicago Columbian Exposition (World's Fair), The City Beautiful Movement found a foothold in the United States. The Exposition's canals, plazas, landscaping and neoclassic buildings created the famed "White City." The Chicago Columbian Exposition greatly influenced many of the leaders of the day, including the Mayor of Denver at the time, Robert Walter Speer. Mayor Speer transplanted the City Beautiful movement to Denver. It is in this spirit that the 2009 Rocky Mountain Commercial Real Estate EXPO and Fall Forecast is themed, "The Future City Beautiful." The overriding key to the program is the word "future." Speakers and programs will all surround the concept of what a perfect or "beautiful" functioning city will look like in the future. How we will all work, interact and move around the cities of the future.

  • Meet Futurist Dr. Mitchell Joachim of Columbia University and Parsons School of Design, NYC

    PEEK INTO OUR FUTURE…. Would you like to meet one of the "15 people the Next President Should Listen to"? (Wired Magazine), or one of the “100 People Who Are Changing America”? (Rolling Stone magazine)… maybe the winner of the History Channel and Infiniti Design Excellence Award for the City of the Future? Or who won Time Magazine’s Best Invention of the Year (2007)? Meet Dr. Mitchell Joachim. Joachim envisions the designs of the future for buildings, cities, and things. He has ideas for how the Big Apple can be self-sufficient, cars that self-heal and buildings that are designed for future uses that we have not even thought about yet.  Joachim is co-founder at Terrefuge (www.terrefuge.com) and Terraform One, a non-profit design collaborative which integrates ecological principles in the urban environment.
