Public Policy

The International Urban Alliance, Inc. (IUA) was conceptualized by Johns Hopkins Urban Fellows who participated in the 45th IUFA (International Urban Fellows Association) of the Johns Hopkins University in Barcelona, Spain, on June 22-23, 2015. It was conceived as a nonprofit, charitable organization meant to continue and enhance the 46-year old IUFA tradition of international cooperation and networking in the field of urban planning, as started at the Center for Metropolitan Planning and Research (Metro Center) at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. The Mission of IUA (International Urban Alliance) is to address the tough issues and challenges of the cities in the 21st century, from poverty and inequity to mobility and climate change, and from dysfunctional governance to transparency, participation and entrepreneurship.Our Vision is a better urban environment and a higher quality of life through the efforts of a broad international alliance of architects, planners, and city builders: developers, lawyers, and bankers.We believe that we can accomplish our Mission by rejuvenating the community of Fellows and Associates, expanding its geographic coverage, and diversifying the multidisciplinary aspects of the community of urban scholars and practitioners. A critical success factor is educating and mentoring the younger Associates through participation in an international dialogue on the future of cities, and through direct involvement in solving urban problems creatively in cities internationally.
