Save the Skyline of Paris !

Mary Campbell Gallagher's call to action to save the skyline of Paris. Recorded on May 28, 2012 in Paris, France.

Norquist spearheaded campaigns for highway removal, better housing policy and walkable communities.

S.John Norquist, the influential and outspoken President and CEO of the Congress for the New Urbanism, has announced that he will step down from his position after the 22nd Annual Congress in Buffalo in 2014. Norquist's career at CNU spanned the boom and bust of the housing industry, and he has been critical to maintaining and strengthening the organization. Norquist initiated the establishment of CNU chapters in the US and Canada and has built partnerships with public, private and non-profit organizations that have helped CNU grow to over 2500 members.
