Roald Dahl- “Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.” Placemaking is not a deliverable, but a forever process of discovery. @VelocityGroup

#Migrants carry complex and life-affirming #foodways with them as both #memories and #dreams, creating an #umbilical link between where one is from and where one is now. #Food thus provides a grand stage for the #performance of #translocal identities, new belongings and becomings

[Daniel Hintz @DowntownDaniel]

Food as identity! Food as placemaker! Food as experience! Food as justice! #foodiecall #dnaofplace #theaterofcool @VelocityGroup https://t.co/ms1QlqvEyR

[Julian Agyeman @julianagyeman]

Filipino #immigrants see their #food as #localfood, cooked at home or eaten in restaurants. This #translocalism is practiced when they tend their fruit and vegetable gardens. #Agrifood literature and the food #localisation movement needs more #reflexivity. https://t.co/HL6JsdKee1

Listening to @VelocityGroup’s @DowntownDaniel on placemaking at the Argenta Downtown Council annual luncheon. The “DNA of Place” includes safety, selection, service and surprise. “Selection” includes a multi-modal transportation network to provide transportation choice! 🚍🚃

Talking placemaking, expanded vision, broader scope, experience design and the power of coopetition at Argenta Downtown Council Annual Luncheon @VelocityGroup

"I’ve been to more than my fair share of public meetings and I have yet to see a public input process that was participatory enough to reflect the real desires of a community." https://t.co/oiKWDCE5zt @GrantHenninger

Food is an amazing diplomat and a shared table an embassy of place. #foodiecall #theaterofcool #dnaofplace @VelocityGroup

@izurietavarea Food is a great diplomat and a shared table an embassy of place.

Work those blocks, but always think bigger. Connect to surrounding assets to develop chain of 4-6 blocks throughout your community. #dnaofplace #theaterofcool @VelocityGroup https://t.co/TmHN7od5bB

[Small Town Center @smalltowncenter]

4-6 blocks is the optimal size for a successful small town downtown economy. @DowntownDaniel #CNU26

[Daniel Hintz @DowntownDaniel]

Work with what you have and utilize your greatest asset -people- to cast an audacious vision for what is possible. #dnaofplace #theaterofcool @VelocityGroup https://t.co/5wtRNm7mKK

[Small Town Center @smalltowncenter]

Asset based planning asks the questions: What does our town have and how can we build on that? @DowntownDaniel #CNU26

[Jaime @izurietavarea]

“Food is a gateway drug to Community” @DowntownDaniel #CNU26

[Jaime @izurietavarea]

“Design matters less than the activation of the public realm.“ Heard at #CNU26. And agreed.

[Jaime @izurietavarea]

“Illiterate lumberjacks” built beautiful cities without zoning codes, tax breaks, 30-year mortgages, grueling aproval processes, enormous planning departments and droves of engineers, planners and consultants. They just copied time-proven principles. @clmarohn at #CNU26
