Compare with other cities
🇭🇰 Hong Kong
Multi-Functional Smart Lamppost Blueprint
Same story, different city: Hong Kong's cameras were sawn down in 2019; San Diego's went dark after ACLU concerns a year later.
🇸🇬 Singapore
Lamppost-as-a-Platform Sensor Trial
Privacy killed both: Singapore shelved its lamppost rollout in 2023; San Diego's sensor mesh went dark for three years first.
🇺🇸 Philadelphia
SmartBlockPHL Sensor Streetlight Pilot
Another sensor-streetlight pilot whose live status went murky — San Diego's was switched off, then partly revived years later.
