Germantown’s Economic and Community Development department, in conjunction with Memphis Area Association of Realtors has secured nationally recognized urban design consultant Joe Minicozzi. Mr. Minicozzi is the principal of Urban3, a consulting firm created by Asheville real estate developer, Public Interest Projects. His methods of analyzing development patterns help to simplify the complex information of development projects and policies in order to include everyone in a real conversation about community growth bridging the gap between econometric analysis, public policy and urban design.
