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.
