Smart-city projects run by a utility or public operator
277 of 871 published projects — 31.8% — operated by a water, energy, waste or transport organisation, whether it is publicly or privately owned.
Run by a utility or public-service operator — water, energy, waste or transport — whether publicly or privately owned.
This is the category that hides the most, deliberately. A municipal Stadtwerke and a privatised water company sit together here, because what they have in common is the thing that matters operationally: they run the pipe, the wire or the line, and they answer to a regulator rather than to a procurement cycle. Transport authorities belong here too — TfL, the MBTA, Metro, port authorities — matching how the atlas already uses the word in its funding models. If the ownership question is what you came for, the entry's operator field names the specific body and the funding model says who pays.
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.
