Sofie Kvist

As project manager at Gehl, Sofie Kvist has a focus on public realm strategies, urban transformation and public space design. She works with projects in the US, Canada, Scandinavia and Latin America for both public and private clients as well as non-governmental organisations. Her educational background as an urban designer combined with her experience of working as a landscape architect provide Sofie with an ability to connect strategic urban design to physical design at eye level which is rooted in user-oriented design.

Sofie is currently leading Gehl’s efforts in Downtown Vancouver, a rapidly growing city much like Melbourne, and on Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, where testing temporary installations and measuring their effect will assist with framing a people-centered vision for the future of the street.
