Grants are provided to supplement State and local funds for the purpose of financing comprehensive urban planning and helping communities solve planning problems resulting from changes in the urban economy and population. Cities under 50,000, counties, metropolitan areas, and States, as well as Indian reservations, are eligible to receive assistance, which generally amounts to two-thirds of the total cost of an urban planning project. However, for localities situated in redevelopment areas designated under section 5 of the Area Redevelopment Act of 1961 (75 Stat. 47), or in areas in which there has occurred a substantial reduction in employment opportunities as a result of Federal action, grants may amount to as much as three-fourths of the project cost regardless of population. The program encourages and assists comprehensive planning for entire urban areas having common or related urban development problems. The planning work accomplished under the program embraces all the basic factors essential to sound urban growth. These include, but are not limited to, comprehensive land use planning to guide residential, commercial, and industrial expansion, and planning the general location of transportation and other facilities, such as schools, utilities, and recreational facilities. Grant recipients are required to coordinate their planning work with other jurisdictions and with related programs of the Federal government.
