Maxine Kurtz (born 1921) is an American city planner. She became head of the Denver Planning Office in 1947 and was the first woman to organize and direct the planning department of a major American city. She is also known for persuading the government of Denver and its neighboring suburbs to enter a historic water sharing agreement in return for concessions in sanitation, zoning and building.[1]

Kurtz is the author of two books about her experiences in city planning and human rights:

  • Invisible Cage, A Memoir (2005)
  • City of Destiny: Denver in the Making, with Ralph Conant
