Added pressure on industry professionals. Fortunately, Ratio.City provides a platform that collects all the data you need in one place. Suddenly, your work gets faster, more efficient, and more strategic.
Where do Ratio.City’s data layers come from?
Our data comes from municipalities, government sources, and trusted data partners. We focus on identifying and providing data that will help you to gain a more detailed and accurate understanding of the urban context in which you are working. These data sets include municipal, regional, and provincial planning policies, show access to transportation and transit, public assets such as parks, and much more.
