01Read
Read the ground
Pull the local plan, PBL provisions, and easements for the parcel into a single readable view. No PDF toggling, no tab sprawl.
Plana · Stockholm
Spatial intelligence for the people who shape places.
Plana is the planning workspace for Swedish building-permit work. Read the ground, survey, synthesize, share — in one editorial surface built for planners, architects, and municipal case officers.
Method
Four movements from parcel to position.
Plana is not a dashboard. It is an editorial workspace — one document, built around how permit work actually flows in Swedish municipalities.
02Survey
Survey the surroundings
Walk the block before you walk the block. Contextual geodata — heights, shadow, noise, cultural values — bound to the site.
03Synthesize
Synthesize a position
Turn the reading into an editorial brief: what the plan allows, where it strains, what a case officer will want to see.
04Share
Share the synthesis
Hand it to an applicant, a colleague, or a planning committee as a link. Same surface, different seat.
Sources
Reads from the registries that already hold the answer.
Plana pulls directly from the Swedish public registries a planner already consults — bound to the parcel, not the tab.

Principles
Decisions about places deserve the care of a document.
- Editorial
- Plana reads like a document, not a console. One column, one argument, one case.
- Cartographic
- Geodata enters as contour and parcel, not as chart. Maps are the primary interface.
- Grounded
- Built against Swedish planning and building regulations — not a generic GIS shell.
- Shared
- A case has one URL. Applicants, case officers, and politicians see the same surface.
