Addressing the future

The IFHP Student Competition is a vital part of the IFHP World Congress. This event is also a wonderful opportunity for a time-honoured institution to give voice to the young people who might be our future leaders and decision-makers. This year we honour the competition’s founder Ranko Radović — the driving force behind the competition's first two decades - renaming it the IFHP Ranko Radović Student Competition. In his memory and spirit we look forward as we address the “Futures of Cities”. This is why we need your academic input, your thoughts and your creative ideas on how to address issues related to planning, building, housing and urban quality for the many futures in what has become an urban era.

What's more, we have modernized the competition, offering a more dynamic digital forum for sharing ideas, processes and projects. Your contribution will be instrumental in the success of the 2007 World Congress, to the focus of the 2007 Student Congress and to the essence of the 2007 IFHP Ranko Radović Student Competition.

Help us shape the future!
