Biographical Sketch for Susan Osborne

BA:      Vassar College
MA:     University of Colorado Denver (Urban and Regional Planning)

I am currently the mayor of Boulder, CO and a member of the Boulder City Council.  I have a special interest in energy as it relates to climate change, in affordable housing and local and regional land use planning.

I was director of long range planning, energy and environment director, Community Development Block Grant assistant director and director, and neighborhood and historic preservation planner for the city of Boulder from 1977 until I retired in 1999.

After retiring, I taught at the University of Colorado.  My courses included History of City Planning, Housing Policy and Programs, Energy and Design, Behavior and Environment and several graduate and undergraduate studio classes.  During this time, I completed coursework and dissertation research for a doctorate in planning.  My research interest is related to new town planning and the making of memorable public places.

Also during the post-retirement, pre-council years, I served 5 years on Boulder’s Parks Board and was president of Historic Boulder.

I am married to an attorney, have two grown children – one in Portland OR and one in Hawaii, and have two grandchildren, 8 and 11.
