Our Portland Civil office put together an event series, “Design Matters,” to deepen understanding of equity in designing the built environment. The goal was to learn meaningful engagement as AEC professionals and community members in the rapidly changing landscape in Portland. In an effort to look at equity in their firm, their practices, and their projects, this event was created to acknowledge the intersection of our expertise in civil engineering with that of planners, artists, community leaders, and citizens who also contribute to and live within the environments we design. This included events with local equity-focused organizations (e.g., Multicultural Collaborative, Design + Culture Lab), and within various local communities.
