Why Municipalities and Developers Should Leverage GIS Tools?
To tackle Canada’s housing and urban planning challenges, reliable data is crucial. At Ratio.City, we gather, clean, and consolidate information from diverse sources to ensure our platform is comprehensive and up-to-date. From municipal open data portals to digitizing maps from Official Plans and by-laws, we make housing data accessible and actionable. Our commitment to transparency ensures users can always trace data back to its authoritative source, helping developers and planners confidently make decisions.
But it’s not just about access—it’s about usability. We standardize data across municipalities, integrate links to relevant policies, and conduct quarterly audits to maintain accuracy. Our tools empower users to locate underutilized parcels, test development ideas in 3D, and collaborate on shared projects. With Ratio.City, you’re not just saving time; you’re laying the groundwork for communities that thrive. For more insights into how we’re reshaping urban development, explore our blog.
