      It is the policy of the Congress and the purpose of this chapter
    to provide for the development of a national urban policy and to
    encourage the rational, orderly, efficient, and economic growth,
    development, and redevelopment of our States, metropolitan areas,
    cities, counties, towns, and communities in predominantly rural
    areas which demonstrate a special potential for accelerated growth;
    to encourage the prudent use and conservation of energy and our
    natural resources; and to encourage and support development which
    will assure our communities and their residents of adequate tax
    bases, community services, job opportunities, and good housing in
    well-balanced neighborhoods in socially, economically, and
    physically attractive living environments.

    Part A - Development of a National Urban Policy

-HEAD-
    Sec. 4502. Congressional findings and declaration of policy

-STATUTE-
      (a) The Congress finds that rapid changes in patterns of urban
    settlement, including change in population distribution and
    economic bases of urban areas, have created an imbalance between
    the Nation's needs and resources and seriously threaten our
    physical and social environment, and the financial viability of our
    cities, and that the economic and social development of the Nation,
    the proper conservation of our energy and other natural resources,
    and the achievement of satisfactory living standards depend upon
    the sound, orderly, and more balanced development of all areas of
    the Nation.
      (b) The Congress further finds that Federal programs affect the
    location of population, economic growth, and the character of urban
    development; that such programs frequently conflict and result in
    undesirable and costly patterns of urban development and
    redevelopment which adversely affect the environment and wastefully
    use energy and other natural resources; and that existing and
    future programs must be interrelated and coordinated within a
    system of orderly development and established priorities consistent
    with a national urban policy.
      (c) To promote the general welfare and properly apply the
    resources of the Federal Government in strengthening the economic
    and social health of all areas of the Nation and more adequately
    protect the physical environment and conserve energy and other
    natural resources, the Congress declares that the Federal
    Government, consistent with the responsibilities of State and local
    government and the private sector, must assume responsibility for
    the development of a national urban policy which shall incorporate
    social, economic, and other appropriate factors. Such policy shall
    serve as a guide in making specific decisions at the national level
    which affect the pattern of urban development and redevelopment and
    shall provide a framework for development of interstate, State, and
    local urban policy.
      (d) The Congress further declares that the national urban policy
    should - 
        (1) favor patterns of urbanization and economic development and
      stabilization which offer a range of alternative locations and
      encourage the wise and balanced use of physical and human
      resources in metropolitan and urban regions as well as in smaller
      urban places which have a potential for accelerated growth;
        (2) foster the continued economic strength of all parts of the
      United States, including central cities, suburbs, smaller
      communities, local neighborhoods, and rural areas;
        (3) encourage patterns of development and redevelopment which
      minimize disparities among States, regions, and cities;
        (4) treat comprehensively the problems of poverty and
      employment (including the erosion of tax bases, and the need for
      better community services and job opportunities) which are
      associated with disorderly urbanization and rural decline;
        (5) develop means to encourage good housing for all Americans
      without regard to race or creed;
        (6) refine the role of the Federal Government in revitalizing
      existing communities and encouraging planned, large-scale urban
      and new community development;
        (7) strengthen the capacity of general governmental
      institutions to contribute to balanced urban growth and
      stabilization; and
        (8) increase coordination among Federal programs that seek to
      promote job opportunities and skills, decent and affordable
      housing, public safety, access to health care, educational
      opportunities, and fiscal soundness for urban communities and
      their residents.

    conservation of "energy", struck out "growth" after "nation urban"

    development and redevelopment" for "urban growth" and "urban
    policy" for "growth and stabilization policy".
      Subsec. (d). Pub. L. 95-128, Sec. 601(b)(4)-(6), struck out
    "growth" before "policy" in introductory text; substituted in par.
    (3) "encourage patterns of development and redevelopment which
    minimize" for "help reverse trends of migration and physical growth
    which reinforce"; and in par. (8) substituted "urban development
    and redevelopment" for "urban growth and stabilization" and
    "protect" for "the protection" and required the national urban
    policy to "encourage" prudent use of resources, including "energy".
