We empower urban planners, developers, and municipalities with intuitive data tools that streamline site analysis and planning. By bridging the gap between policy and development, our platform helps create sustainable, efficient, and resilient cities.
Users often tell us ratio.city feels “like having a BIM for non-BIM users.”
That’s exactly the point.
You shouldn’t need to be a GIS expert to understand site context. We give you 3D massing, stepbacks, heights, shadows and more, all built from official datasets.
That’s exactly the point.

Spoiler for an upcoming piece. I often hear people dismissing Canada's housing crisis by saying, "Mike, home prices skyrocketed everywhere, it's not just a Canada thing".
Turns out... nope. It really is a Canada thing.

At Ratio.City, one of our first goals is to equip anyone involved in city building with the right tools and data to make hard decisions easier and faster.
Time matters — whether it’s a quick analysis or daily questions, you need reliable answers you can trust.

What can I actually build on this site?
It’s the first question every planner, architect, and developer asks — and it shouldn’t take hours to answer.

In #citybuilding, whether you’re buying data, analyzing sites, or uploading your own, trust in your platform matters.
With new tools emerging globally and different countries following different data standards, the risks around privacy and security have never been greater.

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.

Collaboration is the missing piece of housing.
Processes are speeding up, but teams often work in isolation. At Ratio.City, we’re helping planners, developers, and municipalities move faster together — using the same data, context, and tools.

Toronto’s Major Transit Station Areas (MTSAs) are official. These 500–800m zones around subway, GO, and LRT stations are where higher density housing and jobs are required.
A major step for housing supply, city growth, and transit-oriented planning.
