A personal statement on community planning

Hi. Thanks for visiting my web-site. My name is John Lynch and I am a trusted planning professional in the NYC metropolitan area with over 30 years of experience. For fourteen of those years I have operated my own practice. I have a great deal of experience with environmental disclosure, fiscal and market analysis, and municipal planning and zoning administration.

In addition to these areas, my professional interests include expanding local housing options and controlling sprawl around NYC, community / neighborhood redevelopment and preservation, identifying and spotlighting local strengths, promoting activity in public spaces, enhancing NYC’s role in media and culture and the overall economic development and revitalization of NYC and the surrounding region.

My professional interests were most informed by my childhood in NYC’s borough of the Bronx High Bridge neighborhood, (then Williamsbridge / Norwood) and my early adult years in the borough of Brooklyn (Fort Greene and Clinton Hill) and now by the revitalization of lower Manhattan. As a child I witnessed first-hand the destruction of once tight-knit vital neighborhoods and their housing, workplaces, businesses and institutions. When you grew up in the Bronx of the 1970’s you had a great time but all your neighbors and friends wanted to do or ever talked about was moving out of the neighborhood to Queens or the suburbs. Bronx neighborhoods had become “beat”, and were “changing.” Many families themselves were breaking apart too at that time.
