2 Dear IFHP Member, Welcome to this IFHP publication of your membership s benefits! Whether you have joined IFHP recently or if you have been a long standing member, you are member of an organisation that goes through exciting times. The world is undergoing rapid change and so are our cities, where more than 50% of people now live and this will be 70% in To accommodate this change, we need to generate and exchange innovative ideas and practical knowledge at the global level. IFHP plays an important role here. For our Centenary year, 2013, we have organized an unprecedented number of activities across the globe to promote the understanding of human settlements in a changing world. For 100 years we have been in the forefront of the international exchange of knowledge in the field of housing, planning and urban development in general. Now IFHP is changing radically in line with the rapidly and unpredictably changing world. Part of that change is a simplification of our membership structure and an expansion of your IFHP Membership benefits, which are described in this publication. It is my hope that you will both benefit from our activities and actively contribute to IFHP s on-going transformation to maintain our role as a leading international knowledge organisation. I hope to meet you at one of the upcoming IFHP events this year and also that you will continue to benefit from your IFHP Membership Kind regards, Flemming Borreskov President of IFHP

4 Basic Basic On the website of IFHP and also during events and activities you can meet dozens of IFHP members and representatives from cities, governments, NGO s, Educational Institutions and private companies from all over the world. During our events keynote speakers will share their knowledge and expertise with, from a very wide range of presentations of projects and processes in housing an planning. In your member section of the IFHP website you will find a frequently updated PDF directory of all members of IFHP in more than 60 countries. In many cases you will find individual contact detail, should you want get in touch with another IFHP member on a one to one basis.

5 Basic In line with the IFHP s Strategic Action Plan, three initial working groups have been formed with the purpose of creating and exchanging stateof-the-art knowledge through the expertise of its members. The aim is to equip participants to find the best local solutions to the global challenges facing housing and planning today. Working groups consist of a chairperson and interested participants and can involve a wide variety of activities depending on interest, theme and opportunity. Examples of possible activities include inspirational study visits, participation in implementation labs, seminars, symposia and/or congresses, and the creation of publications and practitioners guides. IFHP is currently supporting three working groups. The central question the IFHP Climate Resilient Cities Working Group (CRC) would like to address is how cities and regions can adapt to the effects of climate change such as extreme storm water buffering, rising sea and water levels; or just the opposite, extreme droughts, as well as urban heat islands effects, and other climatological challenges. The Spontaneous City Working Group evaluates the central question of how we can create or perhaps more accurately, allow for small scale, userdefined development in a planning system that traditionally favours certainty and control. The Housing Working Group was reactivated in February 2012, in London. The Housing Working group generates and transfers cross-cutting thematic knowledge in housing. The emphasis will be on concrete and topical housing challenges and developing projects.

6 Basic The Members Area of the IFHP website contains a number of document which are exclusively for members, such a the Strategic Action Plan of IFHP, Members newsletters and the Members Directory. Also in the Members Area you are able to change your profile, including fields of expertise so other members can find you easily. Basic Newsflashes of IFHP will give early bird invitations to upcoming events, new publications, staff changes, announcements of new partnerships with cities and media and all other matters which are of importance to you as IFHP member. In case you have missed one of the IFHP events or when you want to read more about a lecture or keynotes, the event reports for IFHP Members link you directly to the relevant webpages. In the reports you will also find links to reports of IFHP Travel Squad, reporting from relevant events across the globe and from congresses of partner organizations.

7 Basic Particularly during the IFHP Centenary year, we have organized an unprecedented series of events around the world. In the upcoming years we will increase the number of activities, also for our younger members who are very active in URBEGO, the part of IFHP, specifically for students and young professionals. To benefit from your discounts, all you have to do is fill in your IFHP registration number when registering for an event. Basic IFHP offers you not only discount on our own publications, but also on publications of our partners, such as Cities Today, Elsevier Science, publisher of many Geographic Journals. The discount is also applicable at the online book shop of one of our other partners, The Danish Architecture Center, which offers one of the best collections of publications about architecture, city planning and urban development.

8 Basic The members of IFHP elect the IFHP Council, which votes about important issues of IFHP and which elects the IFHP Board. The IFHP Council meets once a year in a round table meeting and in a formal meeting. The number of IFHP Council Members is limited to three Council members per country. Basic All members of IFHP (including Basic members) can be elected to serve on the IFHP Council or the IFHP Board. The Board has 6 members, is responsible for the overall management of IFHP and is chaired by the President. The Board usually meets four times a year.

9 IFHP and the content of our activities is shaped by our members. For example, the annual congress is prepared by an Expert Panel but also our other events are usually made by our members, not seldom as a key note speaker. Below you see a calendar of upcoming events and please feel welcome if you wish to contribute to any of those or if you have ideas for an activity or event that is not on the calendar yet.

10 As you will see on the IFHP website we have a number of partner organizations that also have events. Also IFHP has a growing number of city partnerships. These organizations and cities are usually a corporate member and are invited to advertise their events on the IFHP website when we think those events are of interest to our members. This benefit will be available to corporate members in the near future. Basic This benefit will be available to individual members in the near future..

11 The benefits below are exclusively for members and are partly to enhance your visibility in the target groups of IFHP. That are of course the IFHP members. Through the media partnerships of IFHP our members are visible to some 5,000 mayors and around 15,000 City Executives around the world.

12 Connect to the world's leading experts in housing and urban planning The IFHP Centenary Congress provides a unique opportunity for sponsors to become associated with a landmark, international event in central London. We are inviting corporate sponsors who are interested not only to raise their profile with an internationally influential audience, but who are also willing to join with the development and delivery of this momentous event. Next to that invitation, we also offer you the option to sponsor one or more of the other Centenary events like a lecture, study tour or round table meeting. Very low cost per contact IFHP events are generally attended by key decision makers in Housing, City Development and Urban Planning, from the public sector, the private sector and from academic circles, such as internationally renowned Schools of Planning, Architecture or Real Estate. Should you choose to sponsor the IFHP Centenary Congress in London, then the average cost of exposure will be around 35 PER EXPERT. The IFHP Centenary is expected to be attended by around 1,000 experts. For sponsoring of an IFHP lecture, study tour or round table meeting the amount per expert is even less. "Bouwfonds supports IFHP s mission because it offers us access to an international network with opportunities to create business from. Also, at the events of IFHP we meet housing and city planning experts from all over the world who inspire us to new solutions in urban development. So, in both directions IFHP proves to be a unique and very useful platform to Bouwfonds, that s why we support IFHP.
