We’re growing.

NYC Planning’s digital teams provide data and digital tools to planners and the public. We build and maintain foundational datasets used to understand the state of the city’s built environment. The software we design makes this data accessible and understandable, bringing insight into a growing city. Now we’re growing too.

The challenges are numerous and fascinating.

We’ll gather, clean, and regularly update hundreds of datasets collected from numerous city agencies on topics from transportation, parks, pollution, and schools. We’ll build data and application infrastructures that are maintainable and adaptable. We’ll sit with city planners, analysts, and technical experts, understanding their work and translating their needs into wireframes.

We have a lot to do, and we need you!
