[[Denver]] is the central city of a [[conurbation]] region in the U.S. state of [[Colorado]]. The conurbation includes one continuous region consisting of the six central counties of Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson. The Denver region is part of the [[Front Range Urban Corridor]] and its metropolitan planning organization is the [[Denver Regional Council of Governments]].

The [[United States Office of Management and Budget]] has delineated the '''Denver–Aurora–Centennial, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area''' consisting of ten Colorado [[county (United States)|counties]]: the [[Denver|City and County of Denver]], [[Arapahoe County, Colorado|Arapahoe County]], [[Jefferson County, Colorado|Jefferson County]], [[Adams County, Colorado|Adams County]], [[Douglas County, Colorado|Douglas County]], the [[Broomfield, Colorado|City and County of Broomfield]], [[Elbert County, Colorado|Elbert County]], [[Park County, Colorado|Park County]], [[Clear Creek County, Colorado|Clear Creek County]], and [[Gilpin County, Colorado|Gilpin County]].<ref name="OMB_13-01">{{cite web |url=https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/default/files/omb/bulletins/2013/b13-01.pdf|title=OMB Bulletin No. 13-01: Revised Delineations of Metropolitan Statistical Areas, Micropolitan Statistical Areas, and Combined Statistical Areas, and Guidance on Uses of the Delineations of These Areas|date=February 28, 2013|via=[[NARA|National Archives]]|work=[[Office of Management and Budget]]|access-date=March 20, 2013}}</ref> The population, as of the 2020 Census, is 2,963,821, an increase of 16.5% since 2010.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Star|first=Indianapolis|title=Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO Metro Area Demographics and Housing 2020 Decennial Census|url=https://data.indystar.com/census/total-population/total-population-change/denver-aurora-lakewood-co-metro-area/320-19740/|access-date=2022-01-30|website=Indianapolis Star|language=en}}</ref>

The Office of Management and Budget also delineated the more extensive 12-county [[Denver–Aurora, CO Combined Statistical Area|Denver–Aurora–Greeley, CO Combined Statistical Area]] comprising the Denver[[Denver–Aurora, CO Combined Statistical Area|–]]Aurora[[Denver–Aurora, CO Combined Statistical Area|–]]Centennial Metropolitan Statistical Area, the [[Boulder, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area]], and the [[Greeley, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area]].<ref name="OMB_13-01" />

The central part of the metropolitan statistical area (MSA) includes Denver and three immediately adjacent counties: Jefferson County to the west, Adams County to the north and east, and Arapahoe County to the south and east. The continuously urbanized area extends northwest into the [[Broomfield, Colorado|City and County of Broomfield]], bordering Jefferson and Adams counties, and south into Douglas County, adjoining Arapahoe County. Also included in the federally defined MSA are four rural counties: [[Elbert County, Colorado|Elbert County]] on the southeastern prairie and [[Clear Creek County, Colorado|Clear Creek]], [[Gilpin County, Colorado|Gilpin]], and [[Park County, Colorado|Park]] counties in the [[Rocky Mountains]].

==Regional cooperation==
The [[Denver Regional Council of Governments]] (DRCOG, pronounced Doctor Cog) is a regional planning and inter-governmental coordination organization in a nine-county region. The [[Scientific and Cultural Facilities District]] (SCFD) provides funding for scientific and cultural facilities in a seven-county region including:
*The [[Denver Museum of Nature and Science]]
*The [[Denver Zoo]]
*The [[Denver Art Museum]]
*The [[Denver Center for the Performing Arts]]
*The [[Denver Botanic Gardens]]
In addition, the [[Regional Transportation District]] (RTD) provides [[mass transit]], including a [[RTD Bus & Rail|light rail]] system. In 2005 the RTD developed a twelve-year comprehensive plan, called "[[Fastracks|FasTracks]]", to build and operate [[urban rail transit|rail transit]] lines and expand and improve bus service throughout the region.

==Economy==
The most prosperous parts of the area are in the south and the northwest, while the most industrialized areas are in the northeast, specifically in the northern part of Denver proper and extending to areas such as [[Commerce City, Colorado|Commerce City]] in Adams County.{{citation needed|date=June 2013}}

Changes in [[house price index|house prices]] for the area are publicly tracked on a regular basis using the [[Case–Shiller index]]; the statistic is published by [[Standard & Poor's]] and is also a component of S&P's 10-city [[composite (finance)|composite index]] of the value of the residential real estate market. The Denver MSA is also home to one of the fastest growing tech scenes outside of Silicon Valley in the country.

Electricity is provided by [[Xcel Energy]]. Cable television is provided by [[Comcast]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.broadbandmap.gov/about-provider/comcast-corporation/nationwide/|title=About Provider - Comcast Corporation - Nationwide - National Broadband Map|newspaper=National Broadband Map|access-date=2016-12-23}}</ref>

==Air quality==
The center of the metropolitan area sits in a valley, the [[Denver Basin]], and suffers from [[air pollution]] known colloquially as the ''brown cloud'', building up if the air is stagnant as it often is in the winter. Severity of pollution in this area has varied enormously over the years. In the late 1980s the area was frequently in violation of multiple [[National Ambient Air Quality Standards]] established by the [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]] (EPA). The Regional Air Quality Council (RAQC) was formed in 1989 to create plans to address the problem. Through a variety of measures the area's air quality was improved and in 2002 the EPA designated the area in compliance with all federal health-based air quality standards. Denver was the first major city in the United States to reach compliance with all six of these standards after previously violating five of them.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.raqc.org/LG%20Communicators/lg%20fact%20sheet%20092204.pdf |title=? |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041204091948/http://www.raqc.org/LG%20Communicators/lg%20fact%20sheet%20092204.pdf |archive-date=December 4, 2004 }}</ref>  Since then the EPA introduced a new standard for small particulates and made the existing ozone standard stricter. In 2003 the new ozone standard was frequently exceeded in the area and was occasionally exceeded as far away as [[Rocky Mountain National Park]]. The RAQC hopes to implement plans enabling the area to comply with the new standards by 2007.{{citation needed|date=January 2020}}

==Sister cities==
Though Aurora, Brighton, Broomfield, Denver, Lakewood, and Longmont have their own individual [[sister city]] relationships, the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) as a whole has a sister city relationship with the [[Baghdad Governorate]] of [[Iraq]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.drcog.org/index.cfm?page=InternationalPartnersforPeace|title=Bagdad–Denver region partnership|publisher=Denver Regional Council of Governments|access-date=9 August 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120618125907/http://www.drcog.org/index.cfm?page=InternationalPartnersforPeace|archive-date=18 June 2012}}</ref>
