UPDATES

UPDATE | FEBRUARY 2023
Welcome to our second Institute Update 2023! The last weeks were intense with the kick-off meetings of our two new European research projects UP2030 and DUST, but also with our different activities in Technical Assistance and Capacity-Building: the Institute is preparing activities in China and Middle East, to be announced very soon. Another nice achievement is the elaboration of our Knowledge library, which is open to all reviewed contributions.
WORK WITH US
What you can expect
Our work builds upon over five decades of combined experience and projects of the International Society of City and Regional Planners and our members. While we are specialising in the fields of capacity development, advisory, and research dissemination, the available expertise spans a vast array of fields and scales.
We do believe in the need for novel and innovative approaches to tackle today’s urban challenges. While always building upon the lessons learned, practical experience, and research findings from the past, we value and strongly encourage to question the status quo and constantly aim at using new methods and techniques as well as experimenting with new concepts and approaches.
Our strongest asset is by far the collaboration with and contribution of our members and partner-organisations, primarily constituted of the International Society of City and Regional Planners. The collaborating experts of our network cover a broad range of topics, e.g., climate mitigation and adaptation, child-friendly planning, smart & liveable cities, regional development, among many others.
