Supporting community-oriented planning and equitable development in Coney Island

The Coney Island People’s Planning process is a community planning initiative catalyzed through a collaboration between the Coney Island Neighborhood Revitalization Corporation (CINRC) and Pratt Institute’s Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment. The GCPE Fall 2024 advanced Sustainable Communities Studio will kickstart this work by assisting CINRC staff, board members from with community engagement, contextual research, and implementation planning efforts to help catalyze and support a burgeoning neighborhood-wide community planning process now getting underway on the peninsula.  

Our Process

We asked Coney Islanders what they want to see in their neighborhood. This is what we have heard so far.

  • Over two years, CINRC and Pratt GCPE have fostered spaces for deep, neighborhood-based activations on what the locals want for the future of Coney Island. Learn more

  • Through community survey outreach, we have been able to collect local insights on experience and resource access while living in the area. View the survey results.

  • Each year, Pratt GCPE students have built out a report with recommendations for community-led development in the neighborhood. View the reports.
