Abstract	This paper aims to map out the significance of blockchain technology systems for smart spatial (urban and regional) strategies and applications. After a general introduction to blockchain application domains, it offers a critical review of, as well as operational design principles for blockchain possibilities in a smart spatial context. Next, a recent blockchain method to manage confidential spatial data easily and securely is described, including the use of the generic technology that enables applications with self-sovereign properties, called the PrivateSky Self-Sovereign Application (PS-SSApp). The design features of this blockchain system are then evaluated and related to the needs of data governance in a smart region or city, by comparison with existing technologies and methods, followed by retrospective and prospective observations on the potential of blockchain applications for smart cities and regions. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
