The Big Apple will restart its planning process to approve the construction of new apartment buildings and other projects as part of the latest effort to get the economy back on track after the coronavirus shutdown.

The announcement from City Hall on Wednesday comes after The Post revealed growing complaints from politicians and affordable housing advocates to get construction moving again.

“Think about it as not only what it means for the future look of the city — but where there will be opportunity, where there will be that next affordable apartment, where there will be that next job,” Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters during his daily press briefing. “That work has to begin again.”

“It’s time to re-engage the city planning process and move this city forward,” he said.

The City Planning Commission will begin holding hearings again virtually in August, while community boards will get back to work reviewing proposals in September.

Officials shut down the planning process, best known by its acronym, ULURP — for Uniform Land Use Review Procedure — in March as the COVID-19 outbreak struck the city.
