The Capital Planning Explorer is a new resource for collaborative planning, powered by open data and open source technology. This explorer is a resource provided by New York City Department of City Planning primarily created from data published by other City agencies. The main purpose of this tool is to be a starting point for exploring potential, planned, and ongoing capital projects to better understand and communicate New York City’s capital project portfolio within and across particular agencies. This integrated view provides a broad understanding of what projects are taking place within a certain area, and opportunities for strategic neighborhood planning.

This information empowers residents, community board members, planners, and other stakeholders to engage in city planning and advocate for their communities.
