We have something similar to this in Antwerp, Belgium. Most of our solutions are built on top of a kubernetes-powered microservices platform, with an API-first design approach. It is called the Antwerp City Platform as a Service (https://acpaas.digipolis.be https://acpaas.digipolis.be). To ensure technological consistency we have a Digipolis Antwerp Application Stack, which is the technological foundation for new projects. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vR9N3gAJoJFIlaXnpAfSpog85EN1DXJYy5bWHgZ4XKhy8KN1v6xgT4-eaoTTBTEzhIpMGqd_Q11RuKF/pubhtml https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vR9N3gAJoJFI... And finally for UI consistency, we have a design system called Antwerp UI (https://antwerp-ui.digipolis.be https://antwerp-ui.digipolis.be), which includes a custom-designed font meant to evoke the city's historical architecture, used both for internally facing web apps, and for our public facing website https://www.antwerpen.be https://www.antwerpen.be

Hey Joeri, thank you! I've previously lived in the Antwerp province. The whole time of my stay, I was in love with the city's visual identity (posters, website,..) and the effectiveness of digital services across the administration offices, public institutions and media centers. It's the one city in Belgium taking advantage, in the best way, of digital infrastructure and modern tech. Nowadays I'm living in the Ardennes (Bastogne) where I can see a huge gap (compared to Antwerp) in Internet services and tech investments. I'm grateful to the people at Digipolis and the city offices taking visionary steps in fostering the local tech scene and building beautiful interfaces/apps.
