INTI is the International New Town Institute, a scientific research institute studying the past, present and future of New Towns worldwide. New Towns are all cities built from scratch according to a master plan: from Washington DC to Marne-la-Vallee near Paris, from Songjiang near Shanghai to Zoetermeer near The Hague. INTI develops and exchanges state of the art knowledge on the economy, planning, socio-demographics and culture of New Towns. INTI’s research partners include the Dutch Delft University of Technology and the University of Amsterdam and a growing number of universities outside the Netherlands.

What does INTI do?

INTI aims at gaining an insight into the worldwide phenomenon of New Towns by studying their development in theoretical and practical research. The focus is on:
 The regeneration of Europe’s post war cities, the English New Towns, the French Villes Nouvelles, the Dutch Groeikernen and the New Towns in the former Soviet countries.
 The most recent generation of New Towns, designed and built from the Middle East to Asia, in countries like Dubai, India, China, Korea.

 Which are the strengths and weaknesses of New Towns compared to ‘historic’ cities?
 To what extent can the present (social, demographic, economic) condition of a New Town be understood as the result of its completely planned character? Is the New Town more criminal and unsafe than the ‘historic’ city?
 Which are the newest insights on the planning of New Towns as concerns sustainability, transport and urban planning?
 What is the role of different actors in the development of a New Town, such as public authorities, citizens, companies and special interest groups? How can their role be stimulated? To what extent should New Towns relinquish planning?
 How can new planning instruments, such as urban simulation, GIS and Virtual Reality, be applied to New Town design?

INTI communicates its research in different ways.
