Generalizations are made from research regarding learners, instructional materials, facilities, and program organization.

In addition, examples of current urban environmental problems are provided, and recommendations related to needed environmental education programs are made. Materials evaluated as useful for elementary and secondary school programs in urban areas are listed. Problems shared by a number of environmental education programs are discussed, and programs, curriculums, and materials are recommended. Five case studies are provided as descriptions of procedures followed in developing and implementing environmental education programs. The remainder of the report is comprised of brief descriptions of selected environmental education programs, projects, and materials considered of value in program development and implementation in schools.
