Global housing and planning agenda’s
We work on aligning and improving global housing and planning agendas, such as the UN Urban Agenda and the European Affordable Housing Plan.
Local and national housing and planning agenda’s
We investigate how housing and planning policies are shaped and implemented at the local level, drawing lessons from international examples and experiences. Through local chapters we aim to uncover effective approaches and foster dialogue between practitioners and decision-makers.
Housing in conflicted regions
We explore housing and planning challenges in conflicted regions, focusing on post-conflict reconstruction and collaboration between key actors. We are developing partnerships and research initiatives to support knowledge exchange and welcome new ideas and collaborations.
Next generation and capacity building
IFHP positions itself as a transnational platform for emerging professionals and early-career researchers working at the intersection of housing and planning. Capacity building is not peripheral but strategic: it strengthens long-term network vitality and intellectual renewal.
