Abstract
This review of the 1971 congressional and executive branch actions of concern to the planning profession uses the declaration of a national urban growth policy as its organizing framework. Federal initiatives in a number of new subject areas reflect the increased appreciation of the impact on urban growth of such programs and developments as health care delivery systems, metropolitan educational parks, housing scandals, rural growth centers, uniform national welfare policies, new public credit sources, the linkage of planning and public management, and consolidation and decentralization of federal decision-making machinery. The jigsaw puzzle of urban growth policy has not yet been solved, but most of the pieces are now out on the table.
