Description
The International Centre for Local and Regional Development (ICLRD) is a unique North-South-US partnership that brings together leading experts in spatial planning, housing and local and regional development from universities and research centres. The Centre's goals are to promote research into best practices in spatial planning and economic development and to develop capacity building programmes for public officials, civic leaders, non-governmental organisations and other practitioners.
