Tsur was head of the Ometz Lev party that ran for the city council of Jerusalem in October 2013. Before her term as deputy mayor she was head of the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel in Jerusalem and coordinator of the Sustainable Jerusalem organization. Tsur fought to prevent urban sprawl into the Jerusalem Hills which would add 20,000 housing units using a western Jerusalem beltway inside the green Jerusalem hills. She also led Jerusalem's recycling revolution, and integrated urban nature into planning major projects of significant public areas, such as the Gazelle Valley Urban Nature Park and the Railway Park.greenpilgrimjerusalem.org/symposium2013/participant/ Green pilgrimage ambassador Naomi Tsur
