Joint history

In 1913 at the initiative of Ebenezer Howard, distinguished for his advocacy of Garden Cities, the IFHP was founded. It was ahead of its time in linking together housing and planning and appealing to a  broadly-based membership interested in the two topics, rather than having any particular professional affiliation. Towards the year 1965, a group of professional planners with a clear focus on practising planners started a Standing Committee within IFHP itself. In 1965, this group separated from IFHP and the founding of ISOCARP was a fact. First President: Prof. Sam van Embden.
