ion; (b> a slum area of Ilarljans

w-
ness and residential use; and (d)

as a result of industrialization. In
each area the specific program
will be developed in accordance
(with the needs and initiative of
the people.

A definition of community de
velopment developed by the Abra
-1 hamsons has been widely used by
the Indian government in the
' shaping of its own urban com
-1 munity development program. The
IA- , .
quote reads as follows:
'‘The goal of urban community
development is to encourage the
growth of people toward dignity,
self-reliance, and competence; to
motivate people to want to im
prove the cod'tions of their lives;
to develop a sense of community
in which neighbors recognize
cmmon problems and work to
gether as responsible, self-respect
ing members of society to solve
them. In this process they learn
to cooperate with their govern
ment and voluntary; agencies in
improving the social, economic,
and cultural conditions thfeir
neighborhoods and the nation.”
