Mike Lydon
Principal and Co-Founder of Street Plans | USA
Mike Lydon runs Street Plans, a company that works with government and community partners to plan, design, and implement more sustainable and inclusive streets and public spaces.
By applying tactical urbanism methodology, Street Plans physically and iteratively transform streets and other public spaces together with clients and, crucially, the residents of the city. This approach creates instant impact that can be measured and evaluated, and often ignites lasting investments in permanent transformation.
As cities are where the majority of humans reside, Mike believes that this is where the most social and economic opportunity for improvement can be found. “We must protect and enhance cities,” he says, “so that the human habitat is constantly evolving to meet human need.”
