The Allegheny Conference on Community Development grew out of efforts to unify and coordinate regional transportation and environmental improvement efforts. During World War II, Pittsburgh Regional Planning Association President Richard King Mellon, Carnegie Institute of Technology President Robert Doherty, and others were able to generate support among civic leaders to create a postwar planning committee. Incorporated as the Allegheny Conference on Community Development in 1944, the new organization served as a prominent coordinating mechanism for civic action.
