It’s never too early to shape the future of your city! 🎓🗽 Over 70 high school students at Bronx Lab School just completed our youth engagement course—diving into planning and community engagement, meeting leaders like Hon. Vanessa L. Gibson, MPA (She, Her, Hers, Ella) and designing projects to address real issues in Mott Haven. For example, “The Rebirth of St. Mary’s” was designed to tackle safety concerns and honor the park’s history, while “Elevate the Deegan!,” reimagines the expressway underpass at Lincoln and Third Avenues to improve resident mobility, create a sense of belonging, and enhance safety. This is the fourth year that our CPE and Civic Engagement Studio teams have run this program with the amazing Bronx Lab team. Looking forward to continuing to engage young New Yorkers about neighborhood planning!
About us
The Department of City Planning (DCP) plans for the strategic growth and development of the City through ground-up planning with communities, the development of land use policies and zoning regulations applicable citywide and sharing its perspectives on growth and community needs with sister agencies in collaboration with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). DCP’s six strategic objectives include: (a) catalyze long-term neighborhood improvement through integrated planning and targeted accompanying public investments; (b) encourage housing production, affordability, and quality; (c) promote economic development and job growth; (d) enhance resiliency and sustainability of neighborhoods; (e) ensure integrity, timeliness and responsiveness in land use reviews; and, (f) supply objective data and expertise to a broad range of planning functions and stakeholders. Central to its mission, DCP supports the City Planning Commission in its annual review of approximately 450 land use applications. The Department also works closely with OMB in developing the Ten-Year Capital Strategy, and helping administer the $1 billion Neighborhood Development Fund, geared toward ensuring that growing neighborhoods undergoing rezoning have accompanying infrastructure investments. The New York City Department of City Planning is a great place to work – cultivating intellectual inspiration, professional development and creativity.

The plan envisions a vibrant corridor with new housing, new jobs, safe streets & more!

It's official: we've launched public review for the Jamaica Neighborhood Plan! Developed over two years, the plan would allow for nearly new 12,000 homes, including over 4,000 permanently affordable homes, and 7,000 jobs. It includes over $300 million to upgrade sewers, and additional funds to enhance public space and transit access. That's what ambitious, holistic planning is all about!

One step closer to unlocking new housing, jobs & safer streets on Atlantic Ave! The City Planning Commission just approved the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan, which would bring nearly 4,600 homes & 2,800 jobs to Bed-Stuy & Crown Heights. Current zoning rules prevent housing — including income-restricted affordable housing — from getting built. The plan updates these rules to give New Yorkers new housing options! Next step: NYC Council! Learn more about the plan: https://lnkd.in/ekEhpshY
