| During a
speech in 1963, James W. Rouse said:
"There really can be no other right
purpose of community
except to provide an environment and an opportunity
to develop better people.
The most successful community would be that which contributed
the most
by its physical form, its institutions and its operations
to the growth of people."
The Columbia Association, often called CA, is a public benefit corporation that was created
two years prior to Columbia’s inception to nurture
Rouse’s vision and to represent the city’s
residents.
CA strives to enhance the quality of life for people
living and working in Columbia, to respect the land,
to foster the growth of individuals and to ensure that
the community remains open, integrated and caring.
