The IFHP (International Federation for Housing and Planning) Gothenburg World Congress is set to take place in Gothenburg on September 16 – 19, 2012.

The conference has a theme of "The Inclusive City in a Global World". Find out more about the event at http://www.ifhp2012goteborg.se/en/index.html .

The call for papers is looking for approaches, methods and tools for planners, developers and other actors in urban development processes that can counteract social segregation and exclusion in cities.

SURF recognises the role the urban fringe can play in enhancing connectivity and social cohesion in our city regions.
