Voicing Boulder uses simple, open-ended categories to help you share moments from your daily life through imagery and short audio clips. Each category offers a way to reflect on what you see, hear, and feel in Boulder, and to add your voice to a growing picture of the city’s past, present, and future. Your contributions help illuminate what’s working, what’s missing, and what’s possible in how we design, share, and live in our city.

🌿 Climate Action

What does a climate-resilient Boulder feel like?
From smoky summer skies to lower-than-usual snowy Decembers, the future is already showing up here. This category invites images and sounds of both vulnerability and response: how we’re preparing, adapting, resisting. Think about water, trees, shade, solar, bikes, gardens, and the systems that hold it all together.

🛍️ Inclusive Local Economy

What would a just, thriving Boulder economy look like, and who would it serve?
This category explores how Boulder could support a more grounded, people-first economy. Think co-ops, worker-owned businesses, bilingual signage, informal economies, and affordability that allows people to stay and thrive.

🌽 Food Systems

What does food look like to you - in your community, your kitchen, your street?
Where does it come from, who prepares it, who shares it, and who still goes without? Food is memory, ritual, labor, and care. This category invites images and sounds of how Boulder feeds itself, and how it might become more abundant and just.

🏘️ Housing Choice and Opportunity

How do we make Boulder a place where people can live, stay, and return?
Boulder is beautiful, but housing is scarce, expensive, and often exclusive. This category explores affordability, density, co-living, and the spaces where community can take root.

🧓🏾👶🏼 Multicultural, Multigenerational Community

What would it mean to design for all Boulderites?
This category invites images and sounds of difference, belonging, and shared time across cultures, languages, ages, and traditions. Where do you see and hear stories that span generations?

🛡️ Safety

What does safety sound like when it’s about more than enforcement?
This category focuses on care, trust, and design. What makes you feel safe walking, biking, resting, or gathering? Where do you feel noticed, welcomed, or protected?

🚲 Travel Options

How do we build Boulder so everyone can move with freedom and dignity?
This category captures how people move through the city: walking, biking, rolling, or riding the bus. What works and what still needs building?
