Traditionally, this work took weeks—digging through bylaws, heritage maps, overlays, and transit data.

With Ratio.City, it takes minutes.

Our platform brings all the layers together so you can visualize how every policy interacts across a parcel or an entire neighbourhood.

Understanding what’s possible starts with zoning—but it doesn’t end there.

To truly see the potential, you need to layer policies, data, and context. That’s where things get complicated.

This should be a simple question:
👉 What can I actually do with this parcel?

It’s a question every planner, developer, architect, and city builder faces.

That’s why we built Ratio.City — a shared digital space where planners and developers can finally see and understand the same context.

Because collaboration is easier when everyone’s looking at the same map.

Every planner, developer, or designer starts with the same questions:
What can be built? Where can it be built? Does it require any changes?

But too often, we’re answering them in different languages.

We talk a lot about housing and density.
But not enough about community.

A city can build homes fast but leave people feeling alone.
Placemaking helps bridge that gap. It’s about creating spaces where people actually meet, connect, and belong.

To do it right, you need parcel details, policies, a 3D model, and a shareable report. Specialists spend dozens of hours pulling all of this together—time that delays projects and adds cost.
