Smart-city projects run by a regional authority

Run by a state, province, region, county or metropolitan-level authority sitting above the city.

The layer that most often surprises a reader looking for the city. Metro Manila's traffic belongs to the MMDA across sixteen cities; Miami's school-zone cameras are the county's; Montreal's photo radar is Quebec's, and the province says in writing that a municipality cannot even request one. Where a city appears to have done something and the entry files it here instead, the gap between the two is usually the story.

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.
