For municipalities, planning authorities and transport bodies
OSMosis gives planning staff a whole city ready in 3D, read against its own published standards where it has them: station areas and room to grow for transit-oriented development, walking catchments for schools, clinics and parks, frequent stops from the authority's own GTFS timetable, cycle and shaded walking networks, heat and green change, and concept masterplans scored against the rules, all in the browser.
What planning teams use it for
- Transit-oriented development: station areas, residents within a walk, and the floor space short of a target round each station.
- Service coverage: which homes are beyond a walk to a school, clinic, park or station.
- Public transport: frequent stops and who lives near them, from the authority's own timetable.
- Active travel: proposed cycle tracks and shaded walking routes, saved as GeoJSON or DXF.
- Heat and green: surface heat and green gained or lost, to target shade and planting.
- Early review: concept plans and plot tests checked against the place's standards, with sources.
The City plan
- A whole city kept ready, with your own data loaded and private hosting.
- Named users for the team, with every analysis and export.
- By quotation: write to info@vyntrastudio.com.
Questions
Is there a planning tool for municipalities that works in the browser?
Yes. OSMosis runs in the browser and its City plan keeps a whole city ready in 3D for planning staff, with the authority's own data loaded and private hosting.
Can a transport authority use it for TOD and walkability?
Yes. OSMosis measures station areas, walking catchments and frequent stops from the authority's GTFS timetable, and screens the room to grow round each station.
Does OSMosis replace the authority's own review?
No. It is for early decisions and comparisons; figures should be checked against the authority's regulations and surveys.
