General description
|
The Institute of Urban Development (IRM) is a scientific and research institute. The Institute experience comprise works on: spatial planning, municipal economy, environmental assessment, communication, rehabilitation, strategy and housing policy at national, regional and local levels, social and economical problems of housing, management of housing resources, building market and real estate market. The Institute of Urban Development has rich experience in landuse planning within Polish part of Carpathian Mountain Area. During last twenty years we have made many spatial development studies and local plans including mountain risk problems (eg. flood hazards, landslide hazards, snow avalanche). The Institute and the members of the staff are involved in several associations and research networks such as IFHP (International Federation for Housing and Planning), ENHR (European Network for Housing Research), ENTP (European New Towns Platform) and METREX (Network of European Metropolitan Regions and Areas).
