Hear From Our Interns
As a Land Use intern, I contributed to projects across the five boroughs, gaining the technical skills and knowledge to begin my career as an urban planner in NYC!
I was given real responsibilities, such as analyzing neighborhood vulnerability data, creating research proposals, planning site visits, and visually surveying districts. NYCEDC was a fantastic place to intern, and I recommend it for anyone passionate about developing a stronger urban economy.”
NYCEDC is an excellent place to grow professionally, get real hands-on experience, and make a positive impact in the field.
