Tashkent's smart-city footprint starts with security, not services: Safe City, a Huawei-built surveillance and traffic command system declared by President Mirziyoyev in 2017, gave Central Asia's largest capital a converged command center, citywide cameras with facial recognition and big-data analytics — then became the template Uzbekistan rolled out nationwide from 2019. It is also a case study the atlas tracks elsewhere in the world: security gains delivered by a single foreign vendor, with independent analysts flagging the privacy trade-offs that come with it.

The atlas documents 2 projects in Tashkent, the earliest dating to 2017: 2 still running without a verdict. Every entry carries an evidence grade — the strongest here is independent (1 entry) — and links its sources.
