John Norquist, serves as president and CEO of the Congress for the New Urbanism, a membership organization advocating diverse, livable communities. Norquist's work promoting New Urbanism as an alternative to sprawl draws on his experience as mayor of Milwaukee from 1988-2004, when the city experienced a decline in poverty and saw a boom in new downtown housing. 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. Norquist's topic, "Adding Long-Term Value to Montgomery County," will delive into the new urbanist movement's strongest lessons for Montgomery County and the challenges of applying its principles to comprehensive reform of the planning and development system. |
