The World Community Development Conference (WCDC) 2026 brings an international spotlight to Glasgow, hosted in collaboration with local housing and community partners including the SFHA. This event is a global forum for practitioners, academics, and activists dedicated to the principles of social justice and community empowerment. As Scotland continues to lead the way in community-led housing initiatives, this conference serves as a vital bridge between local Scottish successes and global development strategies. The 2026 theme focuses on "Resilient Communities in a Changing Climate," addressing how local neighborhoods can adapt to environmental and economic shifts. The conference is hosted at the University of Glasgow’s James McCune Smith Learning Hub, a state-of-the-art facility that encourages collaborative learning. The program is packed with over 50 sessions, including "Practice Exchanges" where delegates visit local Glasgow housing projects to see community development in action. These field visits are highly sought after, offering a raw and authentic look at how Glasgow associations tackle urban regeneration and social inclusion. Back at the hub, plenary speakers from the UN and various international NGOs will join Scottish leaders to discuss the "Housing First" model and its global applications. WCDC 2026 is not just about listening; it is about doing. Interactive "Co-Design" workshops will task attendees with solving real-world scenarios, using community development techniques to address issues like food insecurity and digital exclusion. The conference also features a dedicated "Youth in Development" stream, ensuring that the next generation of leaders has a voice in the conversation. For housing associations, this event offers a unique opportunity to see their work through a global lens, gaining inspiration from international models of cooperative housing and community land trusts.
