ISOCARP is a Society of, by and for the members. We are all involved in city and regional planning in its many forms. We communicate, we network, we organise events and we meet at the annual Congress. The above images are from the 2018 World Planning Congress in Norway, a great event.

We look forward to welcoming city and regional planners from around the globe, who care about planning, who want to interact with their international colleagues, who seek international planning opportunities, who wish to share international planning experience, and who are focused on a career in city and regional planning.

  2. Members govern the Society under our Constitution, they share a Code of Conduct, and they are protected by our Privacy Policy.
  3. In the application form below, the very first question asks you to tell us your preferred full name – that’s how it will be recorded, included in a directory, printed on a conference badge, and placed in an alphabetical list.
  4. Then we ask some less common questions about names and titles, to accommodate diverse traditions from all parts of the globe.
  5. We have added an explanation after the less common questions — and most others.
  6. We also ask some questions so you can show that you are eligible for membership, namely, that you have the education and/or experience to practice city and regional planning and housing, or alternatively that you are eligible to belong to your national professional planning institute – or you can present other evidence.
  7. In the interests of member links and networking, we ask you to use our template to upload a simple and brief curriculum vitae.
