What's "peak Denver" population look like? Could it ever go to 1 million? Absent some metro consolidations, doesn't seem likely, given the shrinking amount of development space.
On this last point, though unlikely to happen any time soon, what actually does make sense is for Denver and Aurora to consolidate. Aurora is the most "big city" of the Denver 'burbs and, as they say in business, there could be a lot of synergies in that consolidation.
For now, neither city would likely support it as both consider themselves superior to the other. As long it you didn't also consolidate school districts (no reason to) someday it might be feasible.
