The International Coalition for the Preservation of Paris (ICPP) celebrates and promotes the traditions of
architectural beauty and compact urbanism that make Paris a model for cities worldwide.
We recognize that Paris is in peril. We must take action. The most urgent challenge is that the mayor and developers plan to build twelve skyscraper projects around the gates of this ancient city, one of the last major world cities to preserve its low horizon. Indeed, one skyscraper is already visible from the middle of Paris. Our book of essays by Parisians and others makes a powerful argument against skyscrapers and coordinates with the work of opponents inside Paris. But we need funds to see our book through the press. Our many other plans include organizing a conference, in Paris, on towers in European cities, tentative date in March, 2018. For the sake of Paris, we need your help.
