In the first episode of HW Currents, Environmental Scientist Mike Demanche sits down with Jon Ford, civil engineer and community designer here at Horsley Witten Group. Jon talks to us all about creating Happy, Healthy Places in balance with nature.
Jon's projects combine sustainable design, landscape architecture, and urban planning to develop visions and plans for developments which meet our tagline Sustainable Environmental Solutions. John works in our Providence office, but you can find examples of his work up and down the east coast from here in New England to the Caribbean.
During our conversation we dive into what makes good design good, how green infrastructure and sustainable practices fit into the built environment, and how these principles create value for a community. We also discuss Jon's involvement in HW's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) committee, the importance of fostering diversity in planning and design, and his efforts with the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) New England Chapter.
