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.
Planning data shouldn't slow you down. Neither should analysis, due diligence, or basic massings.
Our monthly newsletter: Ratio.City updates, housing insights, and tools to move faster.

Plus de 1600 ensembles de données couvrant plus de 70 villes au pays.
Toronto, Vancouver ou ailleurs, les données officielles sont à portée de main.

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.

You can even test 3D massing to understand true development potential in the GTA, Metro Vancouver, Montreal, and beyond.
More than 1,100 data layers are ready to explore.
#urbandesign #planning
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.
#housing #citybuilder
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.
#cityplanning #urbandesign
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.
