Overview
The City of Helsinki publishes open geographic datasets and 3D city models that it describes as a digital twin. These resources support planning and analysis; the model's existence should not be confused with a fully integrated live operational twin.
Published city description
Known for open data, mobility-as-a-service, digital twins, and citizen-centric experimentation.
Population and status
The City of Helsinki reported that its population exceeded 700,000 in 2026. Helsinki is an established capital city with ongoing digitalization and mobility initiatives.
Technology and data
The city's Helsinki 3D material describes 3D city models as a digital twin of the urban environment, operations, and changing circumstances. The open geographic data service provides official datasets for planning, construction, and maintenance. Data update cadence and model coverage still vary by dataset.
Analytics and applications
Geospatial analysis and simulation can help explore planning alternatives, urban form, and infrastructure context. The city material describes model and data capabilities; this draft does not infer particular AI services or measured benefits without separate project evidence.
Publication review
Confirm the city reference coordinate and review the current model data, terms, and update dates. Preserve the distinction between municipal digital resources and live controls in individual city services.

# SCD — Seven-City Final Best-Evidence Research Edition (2026-10-10) **Methodology:** Approved quantitative v0.2.3 (unchanged weights, thresholds, eight buckets, coefficients, and 68-pattern taxonomy). **Research standing:** FINAL FOR THIS DATED EDITION by editor-authorized best-evidence judgment, not a claim of exhaustive proof or permanence. **Site status:** Not imported, not published. No live SCD records or user-facing city pages changed. **Limitations:** Full SCD Sites source exports were not supplied; the preceding 68×7 screening was bounded and the later seven-city re-audit targeted. The figures represent evaluated evidence and justified assumptions, not objective full-universe technology prevalence. ## Decision table | City | Type raw / displayed | Autonomy raw / displayed | Final classification | T2 domains | C domains | |---|---:|---:|---|---:|---:| | Amsterdam | 13.54166667 / **13.54** | 5.41666667 / **5.42** | **2B** | 2 | 0 | | London | 22.08333333 / **22.08** | 12.50000000 / **12.50** | **2B** | 2 | 1 | | Shanghai | 17.91666667 / **17.92** | 11.04166667 / **11.04** | **2B** | 2 | 1 | | Dubai | 26.25000000 / **26.25** | 16.45833333 / **16.46** | **2C** | 3 | 2 | | Seoul | 19.16666667 / **19.17** | 12.29166667 / **12.29** | **2B** | 3 | 1 | | Tokyo | 13.75000000 / **13.75** | 9.58333333 / **9.58** | **2B** | 2 | 1 | | Helsinki | 23.54166667 / **23.54** | 8.33333333 / **8.33** | **2B** | 2 | 0 | Raw domain values are calculated using 100 × 0.125 × g × c × T/3 and its autonomy analogue, with separate maxima for each domain. Display to two decimals using ROUND_HALF_UP. Zero for an unverified domain means **no accepted positive contribution**, not a finding that the city lacks the capability. ## Dubai editorial decision and reversal gate Dubai **2C, 26.25 / 16.46** is an explicitly documented **best-evidence inference**, not the result of a privately obtained SCADA specification. The 2025 DEWA Smart Grid Report (pp. 13–14) confirms implemented FLISR including ASGR in production distribution operations. DEWA 2024 and 2026 releases independently across time describe round-the-clock automatic isolation/restoration without human intervention. FLISR linked to network state-estimation/flow supports a reasonable operational contextual-control interpretation, rather than equating simple fault relay trips with C. The system is assumed materially city-serving N (`c=.65`) even though exact commissioned feeder coverage is not published. This is a research-judgment eligibility assignment under the editor's best-guess authorization; it **is not externally verified N-scope**. If a later operational audit shows ASGR operates only in isolated pilot feeders, or its operating logic cannot select context-dependent restoration actions, downgrade Energy from C to B and record a new revision: **Dubai 26.25 / 15.21 — 2B**. A sufficiently documented W-scale FLISR can instead support **26.25 / 19.38 — 2C**. This ambiguity is stated openly rather than hidden in the numeric result. Primary DEWA evidence: - [2025 Smart Grid Report, FLISR/ASGR implemented, PDF p.14](https://www.dewa.gov.ae/-/media/Files/smartgrid/Smart-Grid_Report_2025_EN_Final.ashx) - [2024 operator report on automatic restoration without intervention](https://www.dewa.gov.ae/en/about-us/media-publications/latest-news/2024/12/electricity-and-water-smart-grid-supports) - [2026 operator account of uninterrupted automated feeder restoration](https://dewa.gov.ae/en/about-us/media-publications/latest-news/2026/7/dewa-provides-a-practical-model) - [2022 Hydronet water AI as non-C-confirmed context](https://dewa.gov.ae/en/about-us/media-publications/latest-news/2022/07/dewa-uses-ai-to-improve-the-efficiency-of-the-water-network) ## City-by-city decision, exclusions, and next-higher tests ### Amsterdam — 2B (13.54 / 5.42) **Included evidence and rationale.** Production municipality algorithm services in Buildings and Digital Government, plus multi-site environmental monitoring. The discontinued intelligent traffic-signal system receives no credit. **Remaining uncertainty / excluded evidence.** Borough penetration of object-recognition and municipal planning AI is inferred at material-service-network scale; no presently qualifying Mobility C identified. Other undocumented systems remain unknown, not absent. **Why not the next class.** Type 3 would require ≥30 and three distinct qualifying T3 service domains; neither is supported. Level C requires ≥10 autonomy points **and** two distinct independently acting C domains; that breadth is not shown. The autonomy score is also below 10. **Change trigger for next edition.** New verified service-network mobility control, urban utilities, or an independently operating second Type 2 domain could increase scores. **Domain calculations.** | Domain | T winner | T scale, score | A winner | A scale, score | |---|---|---:|---|---:| | MOB | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | ENG | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | WAT | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | BLD | TECH-AMS-001 | N, 5.42 | TECH-AMS-001 | N, 2.71 | | SAF | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | ENV | TECH-AMS-003 | N, 2.71 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | GOV | TECH-AMS-002 | N, 5.42 | TECH-AMS-002 | N, 2.71 | | HLT | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | ### London — 2B (22.08 / 12.50) **Included evidence and rationale.** TfL SCOOT adaptive traffic control is treated as broad operating control; DLR provides independent confirmation of operational mobility autonomy but cannot count in a second domain. Planning London Datahub, connected water meters and air monitors add Type coverage. **Remaining uncertainty / excluded evidence.** Broad city-service coverage of deployed SCOOT is an editorial interpretation drawn from historical network counts and operating control descriptions, not a current borough-by-borough census; no second Level C domain. **Why not the next class.** Type 3 would require ≥30 and three distinct qualifying T3 service domains; neither is supported. Level C requires ≥10 autonomy points **and** two distinct independently acting C domains; that breadth is not shown. The autonomy score clears 10 but breadth does not. **Change trigger for next edition.** Current SCOOT coverage inventory would adjust Mobility points. DLR-only sensitivity gives 19.17 / 9.58 without changing 2B. **Domain calculations.** | Domain | T winner | T scale, score | A winner | A scale, score | |---|---|---:|---|---:| | MOB | SCOOT traffic-signal optimization across London | W, 8.33 | SCOOT traffic-signal optimization across London | W, 8.33 | | ENG | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | WAT | TECH-LON-004 | N, 2.71 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | BLD | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | SAF | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | ENV | TECH-LON-005 | N, 2.71 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | GOV | TECH-LON-003 | W, 8.33 | TECH-LON-003 | W, 4.17 | | HLT | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | ### Shanghai — 2B (17.92 / 11.04) **Included evidence and rationale.** Multiple operating GoA4 automated metro lines support Mobility Level C; operational power-network analytics and digital-government platforms support Type 2. **Remaining uncertainty / excluded evidence.** Localized electrical self-healing installations do not establish material city-serving Level C Energy deployment; citywide water control remains unverified. **Why not the next class.** Type 3 would require ≥30 and three distinct qualifying T3 service domains; neither is supported. Level C requires ≥10 autonomy points **and** two distinct independently acting C domains; that breadth is not shown. The autonomy score clears 10 but breadth does not. **Change trigger for next edition.** Verified city-serving electricity/water autonomous actuation would create a candidate second Level C domain. **Domain calculations.** | Domain | T winner | T scale, score | A winner | A scale, score | |---|---|---:|---|---:| | MOB | TECH-SHA-001 | W, 8.33 | TECH-SHA-001 | W, 8.33 | | ENG | TECH-SHA-003 | N, 5.42 | TECH-SHA-003 | N, 2.71 | | WAT | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | BLD | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | SAF | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | ENV | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | GOV | TECH-SHA-004 | W, 4.17 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | HLT | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | ### Dubai — 2C (26.25 / 16.46) **Included evidence and rationale.** Operating driverless Dubai Metro provides Mobility C. DEWA's implemented FLISR/ASGR identifies/isolates electrical faults and restores customers automatically without routine human intervention. Best-evidence editorial judgment assigns N-scale contextual Energy C. Hydronet is retained as Water Type 2/B. **Remaining uncertainty / excluded evidence.** The exact share of DEWA feeders under ASGR and full restoration action-selection logic are not published. Material-network N scale and adaptive strategy choice are explicit editorial inferences, not independently verified engineering specifications. **Why not the next class.** Type 3 would require ≥30 and three distinct qualifying T3 service domains; neither is supported. Level D would require ≥30 and three distinct A3 domains, neither is met. **Change trigger for next edition.** If ASGR fails the N-scale or contextual decision-selection test, revert to 26.25 / 15.21 and 2B; if W-scale is verified, A could reach 19.38 (2C). **Domain calculations.** | Domain | T winner | T scale, score | A winner | A scale, score | |---|---|---:|---|---:| | MOB | TECH-DUB-001 | W, 8.33 | TECH-DUB-001 | W, 8.33 | | ENG | TECH-DUB-002 | W, 8.33 | DEWA ASGR/FLISR feeder reconfiguration | N, 5.42 | | WAT | TECH-DUB-003 | N, 5.42 | TECH-DUB-003 | N, 2.71 | | BLD | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | SAF | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | ENV | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | GOV | TECH-DUB-004 | W, 4.17 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | HLT | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | ### Seoul — 2B (19.17 / 12.29) **Included evidence and rationale.** Ui-Sinseol and Sillim are operating driverless urban-rail networks; production intelligent CCTV and S-Map support Public Safety and Digital Government Type 2. **Remaining uncertainty / excluded evidence.** Driverless rail N-scale is based on functional service significance, not area percentage. Advanced water-control references are pilot or insufficiently localized; no second C domain. **Why not the next class.** Type 3 would require ≥30 and three distinct qualifying T3 service domains; neither is supported. Level C requires ≥10 autonomy points **and** two distinct independently acting C domains; that breadth is not shown. The autonomy score clears 10 but breadth does not. **Change trigger for next edition.** Corroborated operating production Water/Energy autonomous controls would change the autonomy level if breadth and score gates pass. **Domain calculations.** | Domain | T winner | T scale, score | A winner | A scale, score | |---|---|---:|---|---:| | MOB | Ui-Sinseol and Sillim driverless rail operations | N, 5.42 | Ui-Sinseol and Sillim driverless rail operations | N, 5.42 | | ENG | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | WAT | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | BLD | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | SAF | TECH-SEO-002 | N, 5.42 | TECH-SEO-002 | N, 2.71 | | ENV | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | GOV | TECH-SEO-001 | W, 8.33 | TECH-SEO-001 | W, 4.17 | | HLT | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | ### Tokyo — 2B (13.75 / 9.58) **Included evidence and rationale.** Yurikamome is an operating automated passenger rail network. Operating Tokyo-wide education AI platform is counted in GOV, the agreed temporary crosswalk. **Remaining uncertainty / excluded evidence.** Yurikamome N-scale is functionally material despite limited service area. Education GOV classification is the frozen crosswalk, and several Smart Tokyo technologies are only proposed or rolling out. **Why not the next class.** Type 3 would require ≥30 and three distinct qualifying T3 service domains; neither is supported. Level C requires ≥10 autonomy points **and** two distinct independently acting C domains; that breadth is not shown. The autonomy score is also below 10. **Change trigger for next edition.** Broader operating mature infrastructure and healthcare deployments would likely raise the evidence score. **Domain calculations.** | Domain | T winner | T scale, score | A winner | A scale, score | |---|---|---:|---|---:| | MOB | Yurikamome driverless rail | N, 5.42 | Yurikamome driverless rail | N, 5.42 | | ENG | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | WAT | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | BLD | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | SAF | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | ENV | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | GOV | TECH-TOK-001 | W, 8.33 | TECH-TOK-001 | W, 4.17 | | HLT | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | ### Helsinki — 2B (23.54 / 8.33) **Included evidence and rationale.** Helen’s live district-heating digital twin materially serves a network supplying roughly 90% of Helsinki; GOV city modeling and HLT digital health contribute further Type score. **Remaining uncertainty / excluded evidence.** W-scale digital-twin coverage is vendor-backed and operator corroboration is limited. Automation remains decision-support B because autonomous execution of heat dispatch was not demonstrated. **Why not the next class.** Type 3 would require ≥30 and three distinct qualifying T3 service domains; neither is supported. Level C requires ≥10 autonomy points **and** two distinct independently acting C domains; that breadth is not shown. The autonomy score is also below 10. **Change trigger for next edition.** Verified operating energy-dispatch autonomy or second autonomous domain could change autonomy score and label. **Domain calculations.** | Domain | T winner | T scale, score | A winner | A scale, score | |---|---|---:|---|---:| | MOB | TECH-HEL-003 | N, 2.71 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | ENG | Helen district-heating real-time digital twin | W, 8.33 | Helen district-heating real-time digital twin | W, 4.17 | | WAT | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | BLD | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | SAF | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | ENV | unknown | —, 0.00 | unknown | —, 0.00 | | GOV | TECH-HEL-001 | W, 8.33 | TECH-HEL-001 | W, 4.17 | | HLT | TECH-HEL-002 | W, 4.17 | unknown | —, 0.00 | ## Research completeness and source provenance The baseline source register has **39 recorded candidate URLs** (22 marked examined at initial screening, eight examined earlier, three inaccessible, six with no full original examination); the subsequent targeted re-audit has **28 referenced URLs**, including 11 marked original pages opened at some point in the prior audit, 13 search-excerpt-only references, and four other/not-confirmed references. These are **separate batches, not additive source totals**, because the URL lists overlap. In the present completion step, **five DEWA original publications were opened** (the 2025 Smart Grid PDF, June 2026 update, and 2024, July 2026 and July 2022 releases), of which three are new exact URLs relative to the preceding registers. The appended source register preserves access statuses. Source counts are provenance-limited; they do not imply a comprehensive audit of all Sites-held sources. ### City source-register tally (distinct city-URL keys; some review statuses are inherited from earlier work) | City | Unique URLs recorded | Opened/examined in some pass | URLs accepted in at least one earlier pass | Inaccessible/unconfirmed | No full original examination recorded | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | Amsterdam | 7 | 5 | 3 | 0 | 2 | | London | 10 | 7 | 9 | 0 | 3 | | Shanghai | 9 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 6 | | Dubai | 14 | 9 | 9 | 2 | 5 | | Seoul | 10 | 6 | 5 | 0 | 4 | | Tokyo | 8 | 7 | 5 | 0 | 1 | | Helsinki | 8 | 6 | 5 | 0 | 2 | Counts of accepted and examined are not disjoint. The source register also contains rejected/limited sources with exclusion reasons; duplicate URLs are retained as provenance records, while the table de-duplicates by city and URL. The previous targeted register recorded 16 distinct publisher organizations; because combined publisher labels are not normalized, no inflated all-pass publisher count is claimed. ## Change-control rules 1. This dated decision **closes** the seven-city research edition. Do not silently change these figures or reuse the word “provisional” for this fixed edition. Unknowns and assumptions remain disclosed. 2. Any material new evidence opens a new dated city research revision; retain this version and compare domain-level score deltas, new scores, label, sources and methodology version. 3. A full SCD source-URL export can improve future versions; its absence does not reopen this edition automatically. 4. This archive is **research data, not a Sites import/package or publication authorization**. Before any production action, match actual database city IDs, validate site importer implementation and get a separate explicit publishing instruction. 5. Neither Type and Autonomy scores nor the classification labels are changed for any older calibration city; Singapore 2B, Moscow 2B and other approved historical regression fixtures stay preserved.
