23 As we look to the 21 st Century, what endeavor could be more eminently worthy and necessary; more obviously logical and deserving of our national attention, expertise, and resources; or more meaningful and spiritually nourishing than that of revitalizing America s urban areas and ensuring healthy and sustainable communities, both urban and rural.

25 Conclusions Innovation Moving Beyond Triple Bottom-line Results So, let us not be blind to our differences--but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal. President John F. Kennedy, June 1963 Environment Community Economy Social Equity
