Mrs. Gosia Kung

With 30 years of experience in architecture, urban design, and community leadership, I bring a unique perspective as an immigrant from Europe. After receiving my architecture degree in Poland, I moved to the U.S. and dedicated my career to human-scale design and urban development. As the Deputy Chief Real Estate Investment Officer at the Denver Housing Authority (DHA), I lead initiatives focused on affordable housing, sustainable urban development, and Missing Middle housing. In 2003, I co-founded Kung Architecture, a firm specializing in urban infill, community development, and commercial design. In 2011, I also founded WalkDenver, Colorado's first pedestrian advocacy organization, and became a nationally recognized advocate for walkable cities. Throughout my career, I have leveraged my architectural background to promote policies that balance design, affordability, and community needs. I serve on the Denver Planning Board, and Habitat for Humanity Metro Denver Policy Advisory Committee. I have chaired the ULI Housing Committee and contributed to the Downtown Denver Partnership's Inclusivity and Diversity Committee. I am passionate about using my experience to create sustainable, equitable communities that foster long-term growth and opportunity for all.
