The Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia was established in 1955 by the Executive Council of the Assembly of Slovenia as a research and consultancy agency. Since 1962 the Institute has operated as an independent research institution. Its activities include research and expert development work in the fields of urban and regional planning and related disciplines. In 1993 the Urban Planning Institute became a public research organisation, recognised and partly financially supported by the Slovene government.

The institute works in the frame of wider urban, regional and spatial planning and in the field of professional development.


International projects

Past international projects included research on the Sustainable Development of Alpine Cultural Landscapes in the Austria-Slovenia Border Region and on the Legal and Regulatory Measures for Sustainable Transport in Cities, a project funded in 1998 by the European Community under the 4th Framework RTD programme. The Urban Planning Institute is a member of ICONDA, Central European Urban Observatory (CEUO); URBINNO, Network Projects OECD, the Urban Affairs Group, OECD, the Technical Co-operation Service, the Great Lakes Colleges Association, UNECE, UNDP and UNESCO.

An international project Human Cities was supported by the European Culture Programme during 2008n‐2012 as it acts as an European Network, opening the door to extensive collaborations between Brussels, St. Etienne, Milan, Ljubljana and Glasgow. Each of partners has developed specific theme around sustainable urban design, from public design and sustainable communities to pedagogy. The Slovene Urban Planning Institute (with an associated partner ProstoRož - FlowerSpace Association) focused on GIS mapping methods for public space evaluation, which are based on the exploration of people’s engagement with public spaces. The Mapping Workshop took place in October 2009 in Ljubljana.

The Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia is registered in the TEMPUS PHARE/TACIS Central Consultancy Register through the Slovene International Consultants (SIC) Consortium for Education, Consultancy, Research, Engineering and Design.


Publishing

The Institute publishes the monthly Urbani izziv, the central scientific-professional magazine for spatial planning in Slovenia.
