Is it the architecture? Is it the cool, hip shops? Park benches? It\u2019s some of that \u2013 but it\u2019s way more. What exactly is placemaking? This episode we\u2019re speaking with Daniel Hintz, Founder and Chief Experience Architect for The Velocity Group. His company helps towns, cities, developers, and Main streets discover their own DNA of Place\u2122. (That\u2019s trademarked by the way so don\u2019t use it.) Hintz explains how he works with towns to discover what their own DNA is. It's more than data. It's exploring. It's asking questions. It's being authentic. And, it doesn't take gobs of money to transform.
