A sensor strapped, mobile manipulated, Internet integrated smart city is quickly becoming a reality in urban centers around the world. The resulting smart city is dependent on data that is collected from buildings, infrastructure, people, and third party data brokers. The United Nations Global Pulse is exploring how big data can be used to build smart cities in developing and emerging regions of the world, and large technology companies, like Microsoft and Cisco, are helping to design the data structures and security that is so fundamental to smart cities everywhere. Yet, the smart city's pervasive use of sensors and citizen surveillance challenges the survival of individual privacy rights when every movement may be tracked, compared with everyone else's movements, combined with vast troves of individually identified data, and immediately used to “nudge” behaviors. This article first describes the reality and immediacy of the sensor embedded, data-driven smart city; from Boston and Chicago to Songdo, South Korea and Santander, Spain. Following an analysis of potential current legal and ethical protections for privacy, the authors use a novel framework for addressing the preservation of privacy in the smart city utilizing a resilience framework. A resilience lens is used in multiple disciplines to determine if systems have the capacity to survive, adapt, and potentially evolve, and is applied here to analyze whether the fundamental essence of privacy can be resilient in the smart city. It is concluded that if the legal and regulatory systems that are available today cannot adapt, then our fundamental right to privacy will become brittle and break under the burden of ubiquitous and opaque surveillance in the smart city.

Smart technologies have quickly evolved to become integral parts of our homes and how we manage our lives, and they’re foreseen to be integral to (or already a part of) the next big steps in urban infrastructure. Along with the convenience and improvements promised by these “smart cities,” however, comes a new set of challenges. How literate are citizens and governments in smart technologies? Do we understand our data rights and what data is being collected and when? And how can these smart cities be set up to emphasize the needs of citizens and with the means to defend against and recover from threats? Smart City Cyber Resilience sets out to answer those questions, putting human capital at the forefront. Tam Thanh Doan brings his years of research and experience in the field to discussing: • How we’ve transformed, technologically and socially, into a smart, Internet of Things culture • The data rights of citizens and how smart cities can be structured as ecosystems that support those rights • Desirable smart city outcomes for all stakeholders • How to improve the understanding of “cyber resilience,” and reimagined, citizen-focused approaches to cyber resilience in smart cities The development of smart technology and the handling of data feels increasingly out of the control of the average person, but Doan makes it clear: Your perception matters, and this book is your first step to having greater understanding and agency in the smart ecosystem of today and tomorrow.

In the age of global climate change, society will require cities that are environmentally self-sufficient, able to withstand various environmental problems and recover quickly. It is interesting to note that many "smart" solutions for cities are leading to an unsustainable future, including further electrification, an increased dependence on the Internet, Internet of Things, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence, and basically any technology that leads us to consume more electricity. This book examines critical topics in Smart Cities such as true sustainability and the resilience required for all cities. It explores sustainability issues in agriculture and the role of agri-technology for a sustainable future, including a city’s ability to locally produce food for its residents. Features: Discusses safety, security, data management, and privacy issues in Smart Cities Examines the various emerging forms of transportation infrastructure and new vehicle technology Considers how energy efficiency can be achieved through behavioral change through specific building operations Smart Cities: Critical Debates on Big Data, Urban Development and Social Environmental Sustainability brings awareness to professionals working in the fields of environmental, civil, and transportation engineering, urban planners, and political leaders about different environmental aspects of Smart Cities and refocuses attention on critical urban infrastructure that will be necessary to respond to future challenges including climate change, food insecurity, natural hazards, energy production, and resilience.

Today the world’s largest economies and corporations trade in data and its products to generate value in new disruptive markets. Within these markets vast streams of data are often inaccessible or untapped and controlled by powerful monopolies. Counter to this exclusive use of data is a promising world-wide “open-data” movement, promoting freely accessible information to share, reuse and redistribute. The provision and application of open data has enormous potential to transform exclusive, technocratic “smart cities” into inclusive and responsive “open-cities”. This book argues that those who contribute urban data should benefit from its production. Like the city itself, the information landscape is a public asset produced through collective effort, attention, and resources. People produce data through their engagement with the city, creating digital footprints through social medial, mobility applications, and city sensors. By opening up data there is potential to generate greater value by supporting unforeseen collaborations, spontaneous urban innovations and solutions, and improved decision-making insights. Yet achieving more open cities is made challenging by conflicting desires for urban anonymity, sociability, privacy and transparency. This book engages with these issues through a variety of critical perspectives, and presents strategies, tools and case studies that enable this transformation.
