Model Cities program aims to unite city services for renewal
H Ralph Taylor says coordination gaps plague cities and federal grants have encouraged disjointed effort. The Model Cities plan will focus on one blighted neighborhood per city with mayoral authority and a regional federal team coordinating housing, health, education, welfare, labor, and economic opportunity. A total of 11 million in planning grants funds 63 cities, with about 300 million in operational grants and existing programs to follow as laboratories for nationwide rebuilds. A second round and more details will be announced soon.
