🤖 AI-generated city profile, summarising the source-checked entries below — how this works
Ankara instrumented its utilities and its traffic long before it published anything about them, and the gap still shows: the water utility runs its network from a single SCADA control centre and still loses 42% of what it treats, more than twice Istanbul's rate. Since 2019 the municipality's most visible smart-city work has been about disclosure instead — a map-first open data portal under a licence the city wrote itself, a citizen request line whose queue is published, and a map on which women mark the places where they do not feel safe. The transport layer is the exception: EGO has tracked its buses in real time since 2011, but the fare card and the data behind the app both stay in-house.

Three entries that show what Ankara is actually doing.
Ankara's 153 line took 2,027,238 calls in seven months of 2023. Fewer than a third became recorded cases — and the counts of incoming, pending and completed ones are published as open data.
Ankara has the control room, the district metering areas and the telemetry. It also loses 42% of its drinking water — more than twice Istanbul's 18.6%. ASKİ's own strategic plan lists the loss rate among its weaknesses.
Ankara wrote its own open-data licence and used it to point at CC BY 4.0. Version 1.0 also says that if the city issues a new version and you keep using the data, you have accepted it — which CC BY 4.0 does not allow.
