citywide

Across the municipality

Citywide means extending throughout or affecting an entire city: a citywide blackout, a citywide ban on smoking, citywide elections.

The word emphasizes scope—not just one neighborhood or district, but the whole municipality: The mayor announced a citywide curfew.
