Abstract

The first annual Urban Policy Conference was held at The University of Iowa on September 25 and 26, 1964. Co-sponsored by the Institute of Public Affairs and the League of Iowa Municipalities, the conference focused on broad perspectives that help to explain the nature and consequences of urbanization. Descriptions of a municipal and a federal government response to urbanization provided excellent illustrations of these perspectives. The Urban Policy Conferences were conceived as a means of assisting local policy makers in Iowa to explore the many dimensions of urbanization. Future conferences will explore related topics that help make up the broad fabric of urban change.
