Organisation
The organization was and is simple: INTA takes pride in its compact, non-bureaucratic structure. *  There is a General Assembly of all paying members. This meets at the annual congress and determines the general policy.
The Governing Board, composed of representatives of the various countries and chosen by the General Assembly, is the most important general administrative body. Every two years, it chooses a president *  and an Executive Committee, consisting of 15 members. In addition, there is a General Secretariat led by a General Secretary with executive tasks.
There are several different categories of members: ‘national members’ (1991: 3.5 per cent), ‘corporate members’ (1991: 63.3 per cent) and ‘individual members’ (1991: 33.2 per cent). *  The members come principally from the public sector (1991: 61.6 per cent), but the private sector is also relatively well-represented (1991: 13.9 per cent). In 1991, the proportion of designers was 11.9 per cent, but academics formed at that time only 3.8 per cent of all members. * 
Information about member numbers is difficult to retrieve. At an election in 1994, there were seven national members (Egypt, Israel, the Netherlands, Turkey, France, Taiwan and the UK) registered, 95 institutional, 50 individual and 14 honorary members; in total 740 voting members from 35 countries. *  An acquisition letter from 1999 refers to 1000 members in 47 countries.

NB:
Early in 1998, the Interreg IIC NWMA programme obtained its own secretariat in London and on 3 June 1998 the European Committee passed the general ‘Operational Programme’. Subsequently, subprojects could be submitted for evaluation by a steering committee to 1 November 1998. In addition, all participating countries collaborated to realize a ‘Spatial Vision’ that was to become the foundation for the plans. INTA had attempted to qualify for a (‘Article 10’) project subsidy from the European Regional Development Fund for an investigation into new towns with other partners as early as in 1996. Together with the province of Flevoland, INTA made another attempt with the Inclusive New Town project, which was endorsed in November 1998 as part of Interreg IIc and went ahead in March 1999. The province of Flevoland handled the official project application and kept final responsibility, but transferred the project coordination to INTA.
