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.

Announcing the NYC Industrial Plan! Working with New York City Economic Development Corporation, NYC Department of Small Business Services & other partners, and building off legislation sponsored by City Council Majority Leader Amanda Farías, we'll create a comprehensive framework that bolsters the city’s industrial sector & supports industrial businesses and jobs. A century ago, NYC’s industrial economy was oriented around ports and manufacturing. While today’s industrial economy is smaller, it is incredibly diverse, an important source of jobs, and essential to the city’s operations and sustainability. However, industrial businesses face substantial challenges, including high operating costs, real estate pressures, and climate-related risks, such as flooding and pollution that can also affect surrounding communities. The NYC Industrial Plan can help us plan for the future of this critical sector at a comprehensive citywide scale! The plan will: - Survey people working in and living nearby industrial areas - Provide data, research & recommendations - Identify “Primary Industrial Areas,” a new way to classify predominantly industrial areas The final plan will be completed by December 31st, 2025 and updated every 8 years. Visit nyc.gov/industrialplan to learn more and take the survey!

It’s official: the City Council voted unanimously to approve the Bronx Metro-North Area Plan! That means that new Metro-North stations coming to the East Bronx will be paired with 7,000 urgently-needed homes and 10,000 jobs, along with hundreds of millions of dollars to enhance public space, pedestrian safety, transportation access, infrastructure, schools, and parks. The City published an article on today's news with an anecdote from Michael Kavalar, AICP in our Bronx Office that captures the arc of this neighborhood plan. He describes a 2018 East Bronx community session when the plan was first being developed, in which a resident pointed to a map and shared an idea for a public plaza – now, after six years of tireless work by Michael and so many others at City Planning and beyond, that vision will become a reality in Morris Park. https://lnkd.in/egHKGm63
