BP Reynoso names Pratt Institute prof. Juan Camilo Osorio to Planning Comm.
Osorio’s been active both in NYC and in Colombia
Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso on Thursday announced the appointment of planner and Pratt Institute professor Juan Camilo Osorio as the Brooklyn representative to the City Planning Commission.
In this appointment, Osorio will support the equitable development of the city – with an emphasis on the borough of Brooklyn. Osorio brings a wealth of academic experience and peer-reviewed work in the planning profession, with his work being focused on the decentralization of power in the planning process.
“Appointing a highly qualified urban planner who understands how interrelated issues on the ground are and how politics and processes can either aid or hinder the growth and future of our borough and city was critical in making my decision for the City Planning Commission. Juan Camilo fulfilled every qualification I knew was necessary to accomplish this,” Reynoso.
