Overview
The City of Cape Town publishes municipal and geospatial datasets through an official portal. The Atlas treats this as enabling infrastructure: useful for transparency and analysis, but not evidence that every service is digitally integrated.
Published city description
Cape Town provides an official open-data portal supporting transparent access to municipal and spatial information.
City and status
Cape Town is an established metropolitan municipality. Its portal is a continuing public-data service rather than a single smart-city project.
Data infrastructure
Published datasets can support planning, mapping, infrastructure, and service research. Metadata, licensing, completeness, and update dates determine appropriate use.
Analytics and equity
Geospatial and time-series methods can reveal service patterns, but missing or unevenly collected data can reproduce blind spots. Local context and human review remain necessary.
Evidence boundary
Publication review should document current portal access, high-value datasets, refresh dates, and examples where published data changed a municipal or public decision.
Authoritative published assessment · v0.2.3
Classification · 1?
Type Score 15.21 / 100 · Autonomy Score 0.00 / 100
Research edition 2026-10-10-closed-reassessment-v1 · assessment 2026-10-10. Autonomy is unknown. The zero score is an evidence-limited lower bound, not Level A.
Eight equally weighted service domains use separate Type and Autonomy maxima. Scores and domain-count gates jointly determine the classification. Source limitations and coverage inferences remain part of this assessment.

# SCD — Original Seven Cities: Closed Best-Evidence Reassessment **Research edition:** 2026-10-10 · **Methodology:** v0.2.3 (frozen) · **Publication:** NOT authorized ## Scope and conclusion Seven operating cities were re-audited against the approved 68-pattern catalog and 21-descriptor taxonomy, with quantitative scores calculated exclusively from eight equally weighted service domains. This is a bounded supplementary audit of prior SCD research, **not** an examination of the full Sites source corpus. Results are final for this dated research edition, revisable in a new edition. No Sites import/export or publication has been executed. ## Seven updated research decisions | City | Prior score / label | New Type score | New Autonomy score | New label | |---|---|---:|---:|---| | Singapore | 25.00 / 12.50 (2B) | **31.88** | **12.50** | **2B** | | Moscow | 19.17 / 9.58 (2B) | **37.29** | **17.92** | **2B** | | New York City | 28.75 / 5.42 (2B) | **35.63** | **10.83** | **2B** | | Barcelona | 16.25 / 8.13 (2B) | **20.42** | **8.13** | **2B** | | Cape Town | 6.88 / 0.00 (1?) | **15.21** | **0.00** | **1?** | | New Haven | 6.88 / 0.00 (1?) | **9.58** | **2.71** | **1B** | | Kigali | 6.88 / 0.00 (1?) | **9.58** | **0.00** | **1?** | ### Scores are not rankings across Type/Autonomy axes A large numerical Type score is not sufficient for Type 3 unless **three independently qualifying T=3 domains** are documented. A large Autonomy score does not yield Level C without independently choosing/acting in **two material distinct service domains**. Scores display two decimals, archive at eight; the 21 descriptors do not create 21 weights. No documented Level A is asserted from a zero autonomy evidence contribution. ## Material updates and justification by city ### Singapore — 2B Type 31.88, Autonomy 12.50; historic 25.00/12.50. - **ENG:** EMA EMS II operating real-time forecasting and dispatch; AGC is fixed regulatory loop, not independently verified Level C. ENG human-decision support Level B retained. [Primary/source](https://www.ema.gov.sg/news-events/news/media-releases/2024/future-proofing-ema-energy-management-system-for-a-sustainable-future). *Limit:* Correction of former conditional 2C Autonomy scenario; no C energy. - **WAT:** PUB national network 1500 permanent acoustic leak sensors and some 300000 smart meters; no verified independent decision selection. [Primary/source](https://www.pub.gov.sg/Resources/News-Room/PressReleases/2025/02/Keeping-Singapore-potable-water-pipe-network-in-good-order). *Limit:* Both WAT technologies aggregate in same domain. Type1, no B for fixed alerts. - **ENV:** NEA continuously measures air pollution in all five reporting regions. [Primary/source](https://www.nea.gov.sg/our-services/pollution-control). *Limit:* Continuous sensing, no independent operational decision. - **Why not 2C:** Although AGC executes routine fast adjustments, evidence does not substantiate adaptive choice beyond conventional feedback control for energy; a second independent Level C domain was not certified. The previously reported conditional 2C is retained only in historic test cases. ### Moscow — 2B Type 37.29, Autonomy 17.92; historic 19.17/9.58. - **ENG:** MOEK monitoring of almost 8000 heating substations and data-based detection of hidden network leaks (algorithm in use since 2020); no automatic independent heat-dispatch action shown. [Primary/source](https://www.moek.ru/press/news/2026/03/1236/). *Limit:* Energy Type2 forecasting/anomaly detection in broad city service; Level B human response. Non-catalog district heat anomaly algorithm is GAP-001. - **WAT:** Mosvodokanal reports >13,000km city water pipes with 23 regulating points and automated 24/7 control supervised by experts. [Primary/source](https://mosvodokanal.ru/press/news/16923). *Limit:* Operator 2026 release observed in search excerpt; original page could not be reopened; Type1 best-evidence inference. - **SAF:** 2025 metropolitan police official reports over 270000 connected city CCTV feeds; Sfera facial recognition/alerts operative; police retain authority. [Primary/source](https://www.mskagency.ru/materials/3466703). *Limit:* Extent of AI on all cameras not established; material system inference corroborated by metro video analytics. Privacy and civil-rights concerns must be covered in narrative. - **Why not 2C:** Documented mobility automation is substantial, but district-heating leak analytics and police facial alerts ultimately inform human operators; water pressure SCADA has no verified contextual autonomous action-selection. - **Governance caution:** Scoring surveillance as technical evidence does not endorse Moscow’s surveillance practices, legality, or civil-rights consequences. ### New York City — 2B Type 35.63, Autonomy 10.83; historic 28.75/5.42. - **MOB:** Port Authority operates automated AirTrain JFK serving Queens subway/LIRR access and airport; >24m riders per year per 2025 agenda. [Primary/source](https://www.panynj.gov/content/dam/corporate/board-meeting-pdfs/Public%20Agenda%20%284-24-25%29.pdf). *Limit:* Operational driverless people mover treated equivalent to operating automated transit; functional service N, not airport site-only. - **ENV:** NYC Department of Health / DEP operate city community air-survey network with 85 air-quality monitors across five boroughs. [Primary/source](https://www.nyc.gov/site/dep/news/022825/testimony-rohit-t-aggarwala-chief-climate-officer-commissioner-nyc-dep-before-new-york). *Limit:* Measurements and public reporting, not autonomous environmental operations. - **Why not 2C:** AirTrain is one substantial Mobility C domain; the utility and environment sources do not verify qualifying independent decisions in a second domain. ### Barcelona — 2B Type 20.42, Autonomy 8.13; historic 16.25/8.13. - **WAT:** Aigües de Barcelona 2025 operating report records remote meter reading for 89% of metropolitan customer meter base; operator webpage records 81% within Barcelona municipality at June 2024. [Primary/source](https://aiguesdebarcelona.cat/documents/42802/481302/AB_MemoriaExplotacio_2025_ES.pdf/f1a51ea8-4762-fe3b-c624-f261d752dfe5). *Limit:* City and metropolitan denominators explicitly distinguished. Twin prototypes excluded from city Type2 without production proof. - **Why not 2C:** Driverless rail is Mobility C; advanced municipal water metering by itself is sensing/control, and water digital twins cited as prototypes are excluded. ### Cape Town — 1? Type 15.21, Autonomy 0.00; historic 6.88/0.00. - **WAT:** City progress report states 170 pressure management zones covering 68% of municipal water network by June 2021, with remotely/automatically controlled zones. [Primary/source](https://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/City%20research%20reports%20and%20review/Mayco_EMT_Progress_Report_to_Residents.pdf). *Limit:* 2026 continued reach inferred from historical operating system; primary PDF indexed but fetch timed out. No Level C credit for pressure regulation. - **ENV:** City 2025 environmental health report confirms 14 fixed air monitoring stations; official Western Cape monitoring review corroborates regular data. [Primary/source](https://www.capetown.gov.za/Media-and-news/World%20Environmental%20Health%20Day%20City%20rallies%20support%20for%20even%20cleaner%20air). *Limit:* City webpage direct fetch 404; excerpt + Western Cape indexed report, no autonomy. - **Why not 2 or B:** Strong network sensing spans Water and Environment, but neither provides a verified operating Type 2 cognitive system or actionable advisory/decision delegation at material scale in current evidence. The explicit autonomy status remains **?**, not A. ### New Haven — 1B Type 9.58, Autonomy 2.71; historic 6.88/0.00. - **HLT:** Yale New Haven Health eCART AI clinical deterioration prediction operational since January 2024 in seven hospitals including principal in-city hospital; human staff make treatment decisions. [Primary/source](https://www.ynhhs.org/news/yale-new-haven-health-study-finds-wide-variation-in-performance-of-hospital-early-warning-systems). *Limit:* Regional hospital system provides substantial real patient care in New Haven; count N service reach not outside-city facilities. - **Why 1B rather than 2B:** Clinical predictive AI makes HLT Type2 and B, but a second material Type2 service domain is unverified and the Type score is below 10. Healthcare providers operate independently of city government but deliver material in-city services. ### Kigali — 1? Type 9.58, Autonomy 0.00; historic 6.88/0.00. - **ENV:** Rwanda Environment Management Authority air stations provide 2026 measurements at multiple Kigali districts including Gitega, Gisozi, Gacuriro, Kimihurura, Kiyovu and Rebero.

A targeted new public-source search examined the overlooked Water, Energy, Safety, Environment, Transit and Healthcare cases. Full SCD Admin URL exports were **not provided**; the registered number of sources is not a count of all discoverable internet documents. | City | Distinct URL registered | Opened originals now | Search excerpts only | Attempted inaccessible | Carried old register | Accepted now | Rejected now | Distinct publishers | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | Singapore | 14 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 10 | 4 | 1 | 10 | | Moscow | 14 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 10 | 4 | 1 | 14 | | New York City | 13 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 9 | 3 | 1 | 10 | | Barcelona | 10 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 6 | 3 | 2 | 8 | | Cape Town | 10 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 3 | | New Haven | 8 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 2 | 1 | 3 | | Kigali | 8 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 7 | **Terminology:** `examined_original` means the original page or PDF was opened in this pass. `search_excerpt_only` is not original examination. `inaccessible_attempted_search_excerpt` means original opening was attempted unsuccessfully, but search excerpts could still inform a *caveated best-evidence inference*. `historical_register_only_not_reopened` is older research, not new examination. Prior review states and duplicate URLs are preserved in the source register; publisher counts refer to the registered source corpus, not validated independence of each claim. ## Excluded or limited evidence - Singapore national VPP sandbox is a pilot, not operating-scale independent grid energy dispatch. - Moscow electric AI optimizer developed at MIPT is a research announcement, not validated municipal operating service. - New York City distribution-protection and remote shutdown do not automatically establish adaptive autonomous grid reconfiguration. - Barcelona digital twin prototypes and RESSONA implementation projects are not promoted to automatic water operation without evidence. - Cape Town full future smart-meter rollout is not counted as already installed; 2018–2021 pressure-network counts carry a present-operation assumption. - New Haven planned signals and proposed AI innovation projects do not earn operating credit. - Kigali WASAC 200-tap prepaid pilot is not counted as citywide utility Level C. ## Closing and editorial policy This dated best-evidence edition is closed for research purposes. New evidence can trigger a new version with changes explained in a score-delta log. Neither these results nor the accompanying 14-city table are proof that the operator production site has adopted them, and **no production publication package has been authorized**. Store both raw numeric scores, per-domain evidence and the historical version.
