Hanau adopted its smart-city framework in December 2024 — six action fields, a LoRaWAN network, a city data platform still being built. The most concrete thing under it so far is shared rather than municipal: sensors that spot illegally parked cars blocking rescue routes, run jointly with Maintal and Schoeneck on state funding.

The atlas documents 2 projects in Hanau, the earliest dating to 2024: 2 still running without a verdict. Every entry carries an evidence grade — the strongest here is official (1 entry) — and links its sources.
