The American Civic Association (ACA) was a United States organization for making better living conditions in America, with an emphasis on improving the physical and structural growth of communities. Its purpose was briefly stated as 'the cultivation o f higher ideals of civic life and beauty in America, the promotion of city, town and neighborhood improvement, the preservation and development of landscape and the advancement of outdoor art.' In 1935 the American Civic Association and the National Conference on City Planning merged to become the American Planning and Civic Association." [SOURCE: "American Civic Association."
