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.

Ratio.City @ratiocity.bsky.social · 2d

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.

Loneliness is becoming one of the biggest public health challenges.
In our blog, we explain how tech and planning can bring people closer together.

Tools can help planners design neighbourhoods that spark chance encounters and real social connection — the foundation of thriving communities.

Ratio.City @ratiocity.bsky.social · 7d

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.

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.

Ratio.City @ratiocity.bsky.social · 15d

It’s surprising how much time can be lost on tasks that should be straightforward. One of the clearest examples is the development report.

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.
