Discover how Ratio.City’s platform helped reveal 273 km2 of land ready for new housing projects in Toronto

We hope your summer was as productive as ours! With the housing crisis still a pressing issue nationwide, we've been hard at work to ensure you have access to the most up-to-date data sets. Our team has been busy updating and adding new layers to help you stay informed amidst the recent changes in urban planning across Canada. Here’s what’s new:

• New Transit-Oriented Area layers are now available in Coquitlam, Victoria, Township of Langley, and Abbotsford, reflecting changes brought by BC’s Bill 47.
• Zoning updates in Calgary to capture major recent changes.
• Brand new zoning layer for Hamilton.
• Development Application layer for Ottawa.
• Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods (EHON) layer for Toronto, supporting the City of Toronto's initiative to permit low-rise housing in residential neighbourhoods.

These updates, along with our existing data sets, offer more comprehensive insights to support municipalities and city builders in expediting pre-application processes and enhancing decision-making.

Plus, we’ve expanded our coverage to new cities including Montreal, Quebec City, Moncton, and Saint John, ensuring you have the data you need for smarter planning nationwide.

All these layers are available now as part of our Free Trial.
