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.

Starting today, Green Fast Track is in effect! That means environmentally friendly homes can now be built faster, helping NYC tackle its housing crisis and achieve its climate goals. Green Fast Track for Housing streamlines the environmental review process for small- and medium-sized residential developments. By cutting up to two years and $100,000 of red tape, Green Fast Track will speed up construction of much-needed housing across the city. If it had been in place over the past decade, 12,000 homes could have been built more quickly! Read more in Bloomberg:
