On 20 October at Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam, Deltametropolis Association (VDM) and the International Federation for Housing and Planning (IFHP) warmly invite you to a public roundtable. This gathering marks IFHP’s official relocation from Copenhagen to Rotterdam, an exciting moment for our organization and the broader international community of housing and planning. Together, we aim to bring international reflections into the Dutch housing debate at a moment of pressing urgency.

This sixth session will examine how housing policies influence social and economic inequality, exploring the role of urban development strategies in either perpetuating or addressing disparities. It will focus on how inclusive housing policies can contribute to social equity and help create more just, resilient cities.
