This paper consists of remarks originally presented at the Symposium on Urban Growth and Development, April 16-17, 1973. It notes the recent progress of urban policy analysis and suggests that it is appropriate for urban analysts to begin considering what has been the impact of their work, whether it has addressed the critical issues, and whether there is a framework in place that permits them to learn from their experiences.
