Neurba Canvas gave urban planners and decision-makers in Petaling Jaya a data-driven view of traffic flow, urban mobility and the economic outcomes of redevelopment.
Read the case studyUrban assessment, made easy
Canvas is the cloud platform for early-stage urban planning. It generates massing inside your zoning rules and assesses every option as you draw it.
One site, in context. Canvas models the district, lights the site you are assessing, and fills it with options that already obey the rules.
- Green space
- Residential
- Business
Set the rules. Canvas draws the options.
Enter the zoning limits once. Every generated volume respects them, and every change is assessed as you make it.
From a site to an assessed plan in three moves



Set requirements
Upload the zoning rules, GIS data and documents. Canvas converts them for use in the model.
Generate
The massing model proposes volumes that already satisfy the rules, or starts from your own floor plans.
Assess
Shadow, wind, noise, mobility, resources and economics are reported as the plan changes, with permit documents ready to export.
Two cities, planned in Canvas
In Melbourne's City North precinct, Canvas combined the constructed, regulatory and natural landscapes in 3D and filled the permitted building envelope with automatically generated models.
