PlanNYC

PlanNYC is a web-based tool to give citizens and organizations interested in housing and development in New York City easy access to facts, news, and events related to major urban planning projects. Unlike traditional media web sites, PlanNYC is organized by both planning project and neighborhood. Unlike government agency and many advocacy websites, PlanNYC links to organizations with perspectives on all sides of each issue. PlanNYC is a complete urban planning web portal, with news summaries and links to development-related articles, official documents such as environmental impact statements, and a calendar of upcoming planning events with local community board meetings as well as citywide panels and hearings. PlanNYC brings together information from advocacy organizations, government agencies and authorities, academic institutions, neighborhood groups, and media organizations -- all in one location. This website is maintained by NYU's Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy. PlanNYC complements the Furman Center's yearly report, the State of New York City's Housing and Neighborhoods, as well as the Center's other online information tool, the New York City Housing and Neighborhood Information System (NYCHANIS).
