A roundtable on open space

On today’s Connections, a conversation about Boulder’s relationship with open space. In 1967, Boulder became the first city in the United States to tax itself for the acquisition, management, and maintenance of open space.

Is Boulder still a leader over 50 years later? How is it innovating the way people live in a community?
