age, size & hook check out still the hook leaves me a little uninterested. Much more interesting is that he introduced the "give way to the right" rule or introduced the roundabout to Paris....what do you reckon? Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:33, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
- Very interesting article, and agree that the hook with "interested in increasing the amount of green space" is a bit of an understatement. Changing that to "proposed a network of new parks" would be better. His influence on Corbu could be also used as a hook, perhaps something along the line "Eugène Hénard's urban planning visions for Paris strongly influenced Le Corbusier..." --ELEKHHT 12:19, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
