Liselott Stenfeldt

she/her Director of Research & Development, Partner

Liselott is the Director of Research & Development, leading a multidisciplinary team addressing complex urban challenges through the lens of a human-centric technology. By harnessing the potential of digitalization, the team is exploring how new tools and methods can offer alternatives for how to plan cities in a way that is inclusive, equitable, and ethical. From leveraging deeper insights through layering data to involving new and wider parts of community groups in decision-making processes, the development is guided by a commitment to improving the quality of life for all urban residents. With a softer approach to technology, Liselott is eager to push solutions that are rooted in the social and cultural fabric of the local neighborhoods they serve. And to leverage emotional intelligence as a crucial foundation for decision-making and design. With a dual background in traditional architecture and digital technology, Liselott has spent over a decade forging strategic partnerships that connect private, public, and academic stakeholders focusing on technology-enabled urban design. Her approach fosters synergies between sectors, ensuring that diverse perspectives and expertise are integrated into development strategies.
