Data model #

Each region is registered in assets/data/regions.js with the following shape:

{
    slug: 'mazovia',
    display: 'Mazowieckie Voivodeship',
    short: 'Mazowieckie',
    country: 'Poland',
    flag: '🇵🇱',
    tier: 'Voivodeship · NUTS-2',
    office: 'Urząd Marszałkowski Województwa Mazowieckiego',
    population: 5_410_000,
    area_km2: 35_579,
    municipalities: 314,
    euFunds: '€4.5B 2021–27 ROP',
    rank: 3, outOf: 16,
    bounds: [[51.4, 19.5], [53.4, 22.7]],   // Leaflet bbox
    cities: [
        { slug:'warsaw', display:'Warsaw', pop:1783000, pulse:72, ... },
        { slug:'radom',  display:'Radom',  pop: 212000, pulse:58, ... },
        ... (5 more)
    ],
    peerRegions: [
        { flag:'🇫🇷', name:'Île-de-France', country:'France', score:78, ... },
        ... (7 more)
    ],
    theme: { primary:'#c8102e', accent:'#ffd700', ... },
}

Four regions are seeded today: Mazovia (PL), Marmara (TR), Sofia Region (BG), Varna Region (BG). Each has 4–8 member cities + 6–8 curated EU peer regions for cross-border matchmaking.

Adding a new region #

Add a new entry to assets/data/regions.js with the data shape above. Member cities can reference existing slugs in eurostat_data.js or be region-only (curated Pulse).

Add the regional admin credential to assets/js/auth-gate.js:

brandenburg_admin: {
    key: 'spree-2026',
    city: 'berlin',           // primary city for atlas data fallback
    region: 'brandenburg',
    display: 'Brandenburg',
    adminName: 'Lisa Wagner',
    adminEmail: 'l.wagner@brandenburg.de',
    role: 'Referentin für regionale Entwicklung',
    isRegionalAdmin: true,
    landsOn: '/region',
}

Optionally add a theme entry to city-theme.js (palette + sidebar mark) and a regional photo at assets/images/regions/<slug>.jpg.
Add region-tier groups to city-groups.js if the region belongs to networks not yet registered (AER, ERRIN, CPMR, Vanguard, etc. are already there).

Pitch hooks for regional sales #

🌍 Cross-region matchmaking

Find your peer voivodeship/region across Europe in 30 seconds. Real Horizon Europe consortium-building tool. AER + ERRIN-ready.

🔌 Connectivity intelligence

Identify weak inter-city corridors → prioritise next CEF Transport bid. Map rail / motorway / fiber / energy in one view.

€ EU funds pipeline

Replace spreadsheet hell with one live dashboard: allocated / contracted / disbursed / unallocated across all regional programmes.

📋 Member-city coordination

Launch a regional project → pick member cities to invite → they accept/decline in their own Cittopia inbox. Invitations + acceptance rates tracked.
