Belden Paulson
The author presents trends and factors involoved in creating today's urban crises that must be dealth with to solve what's too often regarded as "cities' problems." He discusses the significance of each, pointing out interrelationships between rural and urban areas and the need for comprehensive planning and balanced growth. What's the situation in your state or community for each of the main areas of concern and what do you see as implications for Extension's programming?
Status of Extension's Urban Programming (pdf)
Belden Paulson
To learn about Extension's efforts in urban programming, Paulson sent a questionnaire to Extension directors throughout the U.S. In this article, he reports the summary of responses to the questionnaire in terms of what's currently being done, what's being planned or hopefully will be done, and what's needed in the way of "urban Extension models." Are the findingd what you'd expect?
Rural Development: An Idea Whose Time Has Come (pdf)
Henry L. Ahlgren
In his role as Deputy Undersecretary of Agriculture, USDA, from October, 1970, to October, 1971, Ahlgren provided leadership to efforts in rural development throughout the nation. He professes that "rural development is an important component of an overall policy of balanced growth and must be regarded in that manner rather that something that's apart from and competitive with urban development, urban problems, and urban resources." Where do you stand on this issue?
One University's Urban Commitment (pdf)
G. M. Sawyer
Universities are constantly being challenged to come down out of theor ivory towers, update their offerings, and adapt their mission to more effectively meet the needs of their community. Ongoing universities, in general, find this difficult to do. Here's an example of how one campus is addressing itself to meet today's concerns as an "urban university." Implications can be drawn and applied to Extension...don't you agree?
Our Urbanizing Society: A Search for Perspective (pdf)
NUEA Division of Community Development Position
In July, 1968, the Division of Community Development of the National University Extension Association (NUEA) decided to write a position paper on our urbanizing society, as a response to an NUEA request. Division Chairman Otto Hoiberg appointed a distinguished committee for this purpose.* They developed a set of basic questions to be addressed, consulted other persons, and prepared four different drafts, each of which received outside review and reaction. The final paper was widely distributed in May, 1970. It points up broad outlines for university involvement in communities, with special emphasis on urban industrial society. The following article is excerpted from that final position paper.
