President's 1978 National Urban Policy Report
This 1978 report describes the Carter Administration's process of formulating a national urban policy, summarizes views presented at various forums, and highlights data and analysis of urban trends considered by urban policymakers. It initially reviews the process of American urbanization and the changing national patterns of population distribution and economic activity that have produced a new stage in the Nation's urban development. The report discusses specific changes in energy and resource availability, population, lifestyles, and the economy affecting changing population trends. The next sections focus on the problems of urban communities in transition and ways that the public and private sectors can address their needs. The final chapter details the process used in formulating a national urban policy, both its interagency and public consultation aspects. It also summarizes the principles, objectives, and strategies recommended by the Urban and Regional Policy Group which was created by President Carter in 1977 to draw up his urban policy. The appendices contain the texts of the National Urban Policy and New Community Development Act of 1970 and the President's March 1978 message to Congress on the national urban policy. Tables and about 120 references are provided. (Author abstract modified).
