The Velocity Group has implemented its Theater of Cool™ model of placemaking across North America, helping for-profit, government, and non-profit clients realize their vision. Our background in the arts informed the design of this imaginative and proven approach to everything we do.
By first identifying your unique DNA of Place™, we gain context and a deeper understanding of your initiative, your story, and your vision. We then use our Theater of Cool™ Playbook to realize that vision—transforming standard planning initiatives into vibrant, sustainable ecosystems.
“The Velocity Group helped cultivate a shared vision for an expanded geography and economics of downtown Truckee through their Place Accelerator program, identifying numerous catalytic opportunities for both private development and municipal investments, as well as outlined several strategic partnerships that resulted in immediate actions to move our downtown forward. I would strongly recommend the Velocity Group to any community looking to bring creative thinking and pragmatic approaches to the table.”
