Our Story
With an extensive background in urban development, and the recognition of an emerging need for health integration in the world of urban design, Chris Danley founded Vitruvian Planning in January of 2011. Fueled by a passion for wellbeing, and a commitment to establishing healthier communities across the U.S., Danley and Vitruvian set out to convince communities of such a value and the need to address the lack of incorporating health as a vital element in design.
By creating and implementing such strategies as the Activity Connection Plans, designed to increase overall physical activity within individual communities, co-developing the Looking Glass Academy, an innovative assembly of professionals to learn the techniques in evaluating active transportation needs from both the community development and design fields, and becoming the first writer of Health Impact Assessments in Idaho and North Carolina, Vitruvian has made a name for itself as an industry leader in the sector of health community planning.
Year after year, Vitruvian Planning continues to formulate innovative ideas, provide impactful trainings, and develop plans and assessments to address the need for health integration, displaying a total commitment to the welfare and wellbeing of American communities.
