The International Large Detector (ILD) is a detector concept for the International Linear Collider (ILC), a 250-500 GeV (extendable to 1 TeV) center-of-mass high-luminosity linear electron-positron collider. The ILD is optimized with the concept of particle flow for overall event reconstruction so that it will deliver excellent performance for high-precision Higgs and top measurements, as well as high-sensitivities for possible new phenomena, utilizing the advantages of an electron-positron collider. This requires superb tracking capabilities and excellent calorimetry. In particular, the ILD tracking system consists of a Silicon vertex detector, forward tracking disks and a large volume Time Projection Chamber (TPC), which will be read out with micro-pattern gas detectors (MPGD). Within the framework of the LCTPC collaboration, a Large Prototype (LP) TPC has been built as a demonstrator and studied with electron beams. In this presentation, the overall layout, sub-detector technologies with emphasis on tracking, expected performance, and recent progress of the ILD will be discussed.
