Who We Are
CCCD is a research center that is committed to collaborating with communities to improve the places we live, work and play. We partner with rural and urban communities, conducting applied research to enhance the built environment, promote civic engagement, and create healthier, more sustainable communities.
Our Vision
All communities in Colorado will experience an enhanced quality of life based on innovative and dynamic research, design, and civic engagement.
Our Impact
Through a collaborative design and planning process, communities are better positioned to support sustainable, healthy communities and an enhanced quality of life.
How We Are Different
Our multidisciplinary approach is rooted in shared knowledge and collaboration, and bringing the “top down” and the “bottom up.” We employ a diverse teaching, research, and learning environment in which graduate students gain valuable design and community development experience, while communities receive the planning, design, and civic engagement assistance they need to support more sustainable, healthy lifestyles.
How to Get Involved
Our donors are our most valued asset in impacting the community through our work. The Colorado Center for Community Development needs individual donors like you to contribute financial gifts, volunteer time and the resource materials needed throughout our comprehensive programming. We need your help in making a positive difference in the communities where we live, work and play.
