CITIES ARE BUILT FOR PEOPLE BY PEOPLE
The International Federation for Housing and Planning (IFHP) is an independent, non-profit, membership-driven international network responding to global urbanisation, displacement, and climate pressures beyond short-term political cycles.
We do this by connecting practitioners, professionals, policymakers, and researchers working across housing and spatial planning, two fields whose integration is essential to addressing today's urban challenges. Through our international network, we share knowledge, exchange tools, and inspire action.
Co-creating liveable cities for all
