Each member is invited to all INTI events – which vary from conferences, lectures and workshops – in order to become part of relevant and recent New Town developments worldwide. During these events, cities have the opportunity to share innovations and solutions, but also partner and team up with other New Towns with comparable challenges or ambitions.

Since 2016, the regular program of conferences and workshops is expanded with the International New Town Day and a new workshop, the New Town Labs, in which specific urgent topics, formulated by our members, are dealt with by means of design charettes and translated into implementable actions and projects. These events provide INTImi Members with two key benefits:

– Participating in a System of Knowledge Exchange
Being an INTImi, you do not only receive information on new urban developments, you also produce this information yourself. The network is unique in the sense that it has been established for the sake of the collection and creation of new knowledge on the topics which concern or appeal to all members of the network. All members can place their own topics of interest onto the strategic agenda and become a source of inspiration to both INTI and each other. This way, the wants and needs of INTImi can be directly translated into concrete research proposals which can be integrated in the research programs of local universities and the TU Delft.

– Connecting on an International Level
As the word ’network’ already implies, none of this is done on an individual basis: all INTImi are united in their shared challenges and opportunities. This makes INTImi membership also an opportunity to meet fellow professionals, establish valuable contacts and share experiences. The INTImi network distinguishes in its quality: all members of INTImi are selected on the basis of the progressive steps they have already taken in the planning and policymaking in terms of sustainability, appeal and livability. Together, all members of the network reinforce their progressive ambitions and benefit from each other’s knowledge. INTImi membership broadens their horizon, as they find inspiration with colleagues from four different continents (Europe, Asia, South-America, Africa).
