Ben Lucas is a leading policy expert and the Founding Director of Metro Dynamics, a consultancy that focuses on governance, inclusive growth, and strategic planning for UK cities and regions. He has a strong background in public policy and communications, advising cities, businesses, and charities on public affairs before starting Metro Dynamics. His experience includes working with local government, business, and charitable sectors, collaborating with ministers and local leaders on various policy issues.

He helps clients manage their relationships with Westminster and Whitehall while providing guidance on governance and inclusive growth. In addition to his work at Metro Dynamics, he is a Policy Associate at the Future Governance Forum, a member of the Evidence to Impact Committee of Foundations, and the Founding Director of The Power Test Podcast, which covers governance and policy topics.

Under Ben's leadership, Metro Dynamics has published several important reports, including one for the National Infrastructure Commission that assessed funding options for the Cambridge-Milton Keynes-Oxford Corridor, highlighting the need for integrated spatial planning and public-private collaboration.
