We chose this case community because the City of Boulder has been a long-time member of ICLEI. Additionally, because we are situated in Boulder for the entirety of our research, this gave us an advantage for connecting with members of the city and of the university, to help us complete our research within the allotted time frame. With the opportunity to take part in an in-depth assessment of a city that is well known for it's work in sustainability, we couldn't pass this up.
