Gentrification and Public Health: A Denver Study Tour

Date: Saturday, June 22, 2019

Join us for this unique and challenging CPHA Outside event, a lightly facilitated walking & talking tour of Denver’s Five Points, Curtis Park, and RiNo neighborhoods.
Please expect to:

• Walk an approximate 3.5-mile leisurely loop
• Enjoy topic related-conversation
• Be asked lots of tough questions and provided no easy answers
• Bring a bit of cash for breakfast, drinks, and potential pizza/brewery stop at the end

Non-CPHA friends, partners, etc. welcome.
