WNY Economic and Land Development Forum

Release Date: October 21, 2010

John Norquist
President and CEO
The Congress for the New Urbanism

John Norquist's work promoting New Urbanism as an alternative to sprawl draws on his experience as big-city mayor and prominent participation in national discussions on urban design and school reform. John served as the Mayor of Milwaukee from 1988-2004. Under his leadership, Milwaukee experienced a decline in poverty, saw a boom in new downtown housing, and became a leading center of education and welfare reform. He oversaw a revision of the city's zoning code and reoriented development around walkable streets and public amenities such as the city's 3.1-mile Riverwalk, earning the distinction of "Public Official of the Year" from Governing magazine during his tenure. He has served as a member of the architecture and urban planning faculty at multiple universities and is the author of The Wealth of Cities.

A panel discussion will follow Mr. Norquist's presentation.
