Ratio.City
@ratiocity.bsky.social
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.

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.

Housing isn’t just a supply issue, it’s also a review, and an approvals issue.
Delays, fees & complex processes are slowing projects across Canada, adding costs that buyers pay.

Toronto is opening the door to taller, denser housing near transit:
▫️ 30-storey towers within 200m
▫️ 6-storey apartments on side streets
▫️ 4-storey apartments within 800m
But will this really speed up construction?
