Description

Alicia Pederson, Ph.D., known as the Courtyard Urbanist is a passionate advocate for family-friendly cities. With a focus on traditional courtyard urbanism, she champions European-style courtyard blocks to keep young families thriving in urban centers like her home in Chicago’s Lincoln Square, where she lives with her husband and three children. Her insights have appeared in the Chicago Tribune and on YouTube, sparking conversations about sustainable, walkable communities.
