Lisa Middag
Mpls Downtown Improvement District Director of Nicollet Activation
Minneapolis, Minnesota
I’m an urban planner with a background in the arts who collaborates with communities to support sustainable, vibrant, and walkable public spaces through creative placemaking and community development. I was hired in early 2017 to develop a framework for activation along Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis’s historic central pedestrian/transit street, which means I’m responsible to create an inclusive range of unique cultural experiences for daily users and visitors.
