IHS has a team of multi-disciplinary and multi-national staff with expertise varying from municipal finance to participatory planning, action and strategic planning, housing policies and finance and environmental planning and management. Our staff mix the rigour of knowledge transfer with practical expertise acquired through direct involvement in projects and advisory services throughout the world. IHS is occupied with Rotterdam-based activities and overseas work. This provides an excellent opportunity for cross-fertilisation and the development of case studies that can immediately be embedded into course programmes.
