About The International Federation for Housing and Planning
The International Federation for Housing and Planning (IFHP) was founded in 1913 and is based in The Hague. Its diverse membership includes individuals and organizations from over 60 countries.

 

The principal aim of the IFHP is to raise general awareness and professional knowledge about housing, planning, the environment and related fields, with a view to improving housing and planning practice throughout the world. The Federation believes that comparison is a valuable tool for learning. Comparison of similar issues in different geographical, economic or cultural contexts may cast a totally new light on the approach to a particular problem.

 

The IFHP holds two major events each year; the Spring Conference and the Fall Congress. For more information visit www.ifhp.org or contact the IFHP Secretariat at info@ifhp.org.
