There has been a notable shift of interest during the depression from the traditional programs of community organization to more fundamental problems of social and economic security which demand state and federal, rather than local community, action. Furthermore, the feeling of local community responsibility has been weakened by the federal administration of unrmployment relief. No revival of the community movement comparable to that which took place at the time of the World War occurred during the past few years. Regional planning, rather than community organization, has become the subject for popular discussion. Other important recent trends are the declining financial support of private community agencies, the greatly increased responsibility of the government in the field of relief, the growing interest in public recreational programs, the new interest in establishing departments of public welfare, the lack of emphasis upon community centers and other community-wide programs, and the dominance of centralizing forces which run counter to the earlier philosophy of the community movement.
