NYC Planning

Planning for the future of NYC. Working to create thriving neighborhoods with access to housing, jobs, resilient infrastructure and a vibrant public realm.

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

We joined @NYCMayor to announce Block by Block — a plan to tackle the housing crisis and ensure everyone can afford to say, grow and thrive in NYC.

We'll plan with communities to fix outdated zoning, create more homes near transit & use new tools to get affordable housing built.

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

The future is bright! ☀️

Our Young Voices in Planning Summit — organized alongside @NYCHerFuture — helped give young New Yorkers the tools to shape their neighborhoods and be powerful advocates for their communities.

Participate in public hearings for projects that would create:

- 75 new homes in Bed-Stuy
- 75 new homes in Murray Hill, Queens
- 84 new homes in Long Island City

And more!

Today, the City Planning Commission will vote on two Green Fast Track projects in Unionport and Bed-Stuy that would together create more than 240+ income-restricted homes!

Join at 10am to learn more!

[Council Member Eric Dinowitz @EricDinowitzNYC]

Thank you to @NYCPlanning for your support and to the Wakefield community for making your voices heard.

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

Thank you to everyone who joined us, @CMKevinCRiley & @EricDinowitzNYC for our first White Plains Road Walkshop!

We explored the corridor from Gun Hill Rd to 237th St, discussing how a neighborhood plan can create homes & jobs, improve public space & invest in the community.

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

Other projects on the agenda include:

- Nearly 540 income-restricted affordable homes in Mott Haven
- Community center in Bay Ridge

Today at the City Planning Commission:

Zoning text amendment to establish the Jalen Brunson Special District in Midtown.

Join at 1 pm!

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

But actually…

The CPC will review the first SEQRA-exempt project, which has 140+ homes, including 40 income-restricted ones.

These reforms will save money & time, and get people into homes faster.

🚆 NJ TRANSIT rail service between Penn Station New York and Secaucus Junction will be limited to customers traveling to NYNJ Stadium on Saturday, June 13, from 1:25 PM to 5:14 PM.

During this time, other customers traveling to New Jersey should use PATH from 33rd Street to Hoboken or Newark Penn Station, or use shuttle bus service from Port Authority, Grand Central, or Columbus Circle. 🚌

After the match, many eastbound trains that normally serve New York Penn will terminate at Newark Penn or Newark Broad Street. Riders should transfer to PATH, Newark Light Rail, or Hoboken bound trains to continue to New York.

With City of Yes, we made the biggest updates to NYC’s zoning since 1961.

Our new Zoning Handbook helps explain those updates — and it’s available now at the CityStore!

So awkward, we all know they're in line for the NYC Zoning Handbook...

The Newest New Yorkers shows how dynamic and diverse our city’s immigrant communities are, and their essential role in shaping the city’s population and economy.

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

The numbers confirm: immigrants are as important as ever to New York City!

🗽 Over 1/3 of NYers foreign-born
🗽 ~50% speak language other than English at home
🗽 Immigrants are 43% of NYC’s workforce

Watch Director Sherman discuss the latest data with @NYCImmigrants & @PIX11:

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

New York City’s foreign-born population continues to draw from every corner of the globe.

China joined the Dominican Republic as NYC's largest foreign-born population.

Colombia and Ukraine entered the top 10 for the first time.

Chinese immigrants overtake Dominicans as NYC's largest foreign-born group

☀️ Heads-up, New York. Thursday brings the first real scorcher of the season, with the heat index climbing to 98°F (37°C) by early afternoon. A Heat Advisory is in effect from noon Thursday through 8 PM Friday. The best move on a day like this is to find a cool option, meaning any public or private space with air conditioning, like a library, a mall, a friend’s place, or a city cooling center.

Find one near you at https://t.co/04ULpqxfIY. 🧊

Cranking AC across the city also strains the power grid, so timing your energy use matters too. Here is how the day will feel hour by hour, and what to do at each step to stay ahead of both. 👇

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

GOOD MORNING NEW YORK CITY.

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

The Carroll Street Bridge is reopening, and another Gowanus Neighborhood Plan commitment is being delivered.

Let's keep creating safer, more walkable neighborhoods with more homes and mandated affordability!

[NYC DOT @NYC_DOT]

Get ready for NYC’s cutest bridge.

The Carroll Street Bridge, one the oldest and most unique in the city, is reopening next week and will now be pedestrian, cyclist, and emergency vehicles only.

Be a part of NYC history and cross this bridge yourself when it opens June 15th!

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

My FAR eighteen
My SEQRA revised
Refs want seven
