Background
The Institute for Spatial Policies was founded as a private institution in 2006 by Blaž Križnik, Marko Peterlin, Peter Šenk, and Tadej Žaucer. Today the institute is a non-profit organisation registered by the Slovene Research Agency (ARRS).
Activities
The activities of the IPoP include planning, consulting, expert networking, and the implementation of educational activities. In addition to organising lectures, the institute has established an online library of papers and publications focusing on themes from the IPoP areas of expertise, naming only strategic spatial planning, public space research, and a cross-cultural research of urbanisation.
International cooperation
Since 2009 the Institute for Spatial Policies has been the national URBACT point for Slovenia. URBACT is a European exchange and learning programme for the promotion of sustainable urban development.
Up to 2010 the IPoP worked on the project PoLok with partners Trajekt and the Community-Based Natural Resource Management Network (CBNRM Net). The aim of the project is to join people who participate actively in the creation of inhabitant-friendly neighbourhoods.
