Answer:

One goal was to bring the rich and the poor of society together in both physical proximity and social interconnectedness.

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, this movement called for the establishment of "settlement houses" in poor urban areas, in which volunteer middle-class "settlement workers" would live, hoping to share knowledge and culture with, and alleviate the poverty of, their low-income neighbors.
