Toward an Understanding of Metropolitan America
- Share to:
The question "What is the significance of community in the metro politan environment?" stemmed from the recognition by the Depart ment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that the municipal scale is too limited a basis on which to deal with the urgent needs of urban America. The department, in effect, had concluded that it would have to work on a metropolitan scale. In posing the question, it sought to obtain both a better understanding of what is happening in urban organization and urban life, broadly conceived, and to gain a better appreciation of whether the neighborhood or local commu nity continues to serve any significant needs of the urban population.
