StreetSmart

StreetSmart helps you see what's working, what's missing and how your street affects your safety, freedom and health. By combining street photos with lived experience, we help people read what their street is really built for, and build the evidence cities need before they design, invest or decide. StreetSmart translates your experience into government-speak to help your city make your street work better for you.
