Private and secure
On Urbana, you can stay as private as you wish. Unless you want to, your personal info is not shared with anyone. We take data privacy and security very seriously.
The power of proximity
Proximity allows you to act on information and opportunities, relevant to your location. High-utility local interactions like attending a "pop-up" event, a lost pet alert or buying a local item. Why drive across town when you could get it next door!
Built on community trust
Trust is deeply tied to a shared sense of belonging to a community, a collective sense of responsibility and security. The connections and transactions on Urbana work so well because of that trust in our neighbours.
All in one place
Urbana is the one-stop app for your building and your neighbourhood. Explore, connect, save and do everything in one place.
Proudly Canadian
Made in Vancouver. Based in Vancouver.
We take pride in our diversity, innovation and community, and are committed to our Canadian values.
No doomscrolling
Urbana is a "local social" community platform, a neighbourhood app, but we are not big social media. We don't have algorithms and we don't do behaviour tracking and profiling.
Super easy for management
They love our cloud-based portal for concierge and community managers. There's nothing to install, no additional cost and we don't displace existing systems. With supported on-boarding and free training, you'll be up and running in hours.
For our environment
Translate abstract sustainability goals into tangible local action. By connecting neighbours to share, rent, buy and sell locally, Urbana promotes a sustainable lifestyle and helps reduce consumption and waste.
Pay within the app
Transactions made easy. Pay securely with your card using our integrated Stripe payment for marketplace, services or P2P rental transactions and enjoy the benefits of cashless convenience.
