INTA's International Summer Courses for professionals in Urban Development offer unique training programmes focusing on the innovative urban practices that strengthen local urban development and regeneration strategies. INTA's Summer Course is designed to have immediate benefit to the professional work of the participants, as they will be able to apply the acquired new knowledge to various projects they are involved with. The blend of theory and practical exercises enable to contextualise the learning and understand the impact of urban development policy on the ground. The Summer Course allows people to get the most out of the training programme developing their level of knowledge and understanding.

The Summer Courses are small (+- 20 participants) in scale to allow the most in-depth exchange between the participants and the lecturers. The group is diverse both geographically and professionally. The lecturers are well-know practitioners sharing their vast experience and expertise in the field under review.

The courses are designed for young and mid-term professionals who wish to reflect on their professional experience and frame it in an international context.
