Abstract
This chapter examines the structure of community boards and planning instruments in New York City. Firstly, the history of the creation of community boards throughout the City and a critique of those boards is offered. The range of planning instruments available to the City of New York is then examined, in particular brownfield development planning and 197-a Plan process. With this understanding of planning tools and community engagement structures, the next chapter will review and critique how planning for urban renewal is approached by City of New York, using Bushwick and other Brooklyn areas as case subjects.
