How this atlas is made · What “last verified” means · What “source-checked” means · The full record behind this page
In 2018 the UN's e-government survey looked at cities for the first time, scoring 40 of them against 60 indicators in a pilot Local Online Services Index. Moscow came first with 55 of the 60, ahead of Cape Town and Tallinn. The city's mos.ru portal is the single access point for its municipal digital services, and carried over 400 services and functions by the start of 2024.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went. All four grades →📊 Impact
Since the first digital services launched in 2011, mos.ru reports its services and functions have been used over 3.7 billion times, across 15.8 million user accounts. In 2023 alone the city counted over 760 million uses, 16 per cent more than in 2022.
🎓 Lesson
Two things make the ranking smaller than it sounds. It was the first time the survey looked at cities at all, it looked at forty, and what it scored was municipal websites - technical performance, content, the count of services offered - not what residents got out of them. And the entry's two sources for it are one source: the UN's own e-government knowledge base carries the trade-press write-up word for word, three days after it appeared. The usage figures on the other side of the entry are the city's own and cumulative since 2011, a number that can only rise; no outside body has audited them.

Filed under "E-Government Survey in Media" and posted 30 July 2018: "ranks digital services across 40 cities, with Moscow topping the list, followed by Cape Town and Tallinn", "this is the first time the survey has also looked at digital services in specific cities", "Each city was analysed against 60 LOSI indicators", "Moscow scored 55 out of the 60 indicators". The text is identical to the Smart Cities World article of three days earlier - this is the UN's media archive reproducing the trade press, not a second, independent account.

Known limits of this passport
- Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
- Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
- A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
- The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
