Smart-city projects run by national government

78 of 871 published projects — 9.0% — operated by a ministry, national agency or other central-government body.

Run by a ministry, national agency or other central-government body.

A national body running something inside one city is a recurring pattern rather than an exception: identity registers, customs systems, police networks, and in city-states almost everything. The atlas admits these only when the system actually runs in the city on the page — the scope test that keeps a national programme headquartered in a capital from counting as that capital's project. Where a city has to work with infrastructure it does not control, this is usually the page that explains why.

Membership here is decided by the data, not by an editor: every published entry whose recorded operator is of this kind appears below. An entry can name more than one kind of operator, so it can appear on more than one of these pages.

✔ Every published entry is checked against the public sources it cites before publication.

Each of these is the same kind of page — a slice of the atlas whose membership is decided by a field rather than by an editor.
