The story
Why I built Plantaube
Making a proper urban design plan, trees, shadows, floor counts and all, usually takes far longer than it should.
I’m an urban planning student with a technical background, and that gap kept bugging me. So I started building the tool I wished I had: pick a location and a plan size, and everything comes straight from OpenStreetMap.
From there you shape the plan right in the browser: choose your layers, fine-tune colors and lines, add shadows and textures, then export it to scale as PDF, SVG or PNG. That’s it.
It’s free, it keeps growing, and I build it in the open. If you try it and something’s missing, I’d genuinely love to hear from you.
