“…More research is required on smart cities’ complex institutional and technological environments (Gupta et al 2020 ). Future studies could explore the role of leadership and orchestration, which manifested through openness, diffusion, and shared vision in smart city ecosystems (Gupta et al 2020 ).…”

The complex and interdependent nature of smart cities raises significant political, technical, and socioeconomic challenges for designers, integrators and organisations involved in administrating these new entities. An increasing number of studies focus on the security, privacy and risks within smart cities, highlighting the threats relating to information security and challenges for smart city infrastructure in the management and processing of personal data. This study analyses many of these challenges, offers a valuable synthesis of the relevant key literature, and develops a smart city interaction framework. The study is organised around a number of key themes within smart cities research: privacy and security of mobile devices and services; smart city infrastructure, power systems, healthcare, frameworks, algorithms and protocols to improve security and privacy, operational threats for smart cities, use and adoption of smart services by citizens, use of blockchain and use of social media. This comprehensive review provides a useful perspective on many of the key issues and offers key direction for future studies. The findings of this study can provide an informative research framework and reference point for academics and practitioners.

“…While critical and essential medical equipment such as pacemaker hacks surfaced years ago, recent hacks of Tesla cars brought concerns regarding cyber vulnerability back into the public eye [108,109]. Data management and cybersecurity in a smart city context have been explored in the literature, to a certain degree, using a few case studies of existing infrastructures in different parts of the world such as London, Barcelona, Singapore [110,111]. However, only limited risk assessments have been carried out in the literature on hyper-connected AI-enabled cities, as pointed out by Yigitcanlar et al [112].…”

“…The current infrastructure along with the associated challenges can be investigated through the publicly available datasets and data analytics (https://data.london.gov.uk/). Such a dynamic data space requires intense orchestration, as discussed by Gupta et al [110]. The London Metropolitan Police has been recently further equipped with wearable cameras, gadgets, and analytics to collect evidence and to fight crime.…”

Enhancing City Sustainability through Smart Technologies: A Framework for Automatic Pre-Emptive Action to Promote Safety and Security Using Lighting and ICT-Based Surveillance

2020

The scope of the present paper is to promote social, cultural and environmental sustainability in cities by establishing a conceptual framework and the relationship amongst safety in urban public space (UPS), lighting and Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based surveillance. This framework uses available technologies and tools, as these can be found in urban equipment such as lighting posts, to enhance security and safety in UPS, ensuring protection against attempted criminal activity. Through detailed literary research, publications on security and safety concerning crime and lighting can be divided into two periods, the first one pre-1994, and the second one from 2004–2008. Since then, a significant reduction in the number of publications dealing with lighting and crime is observed, while at the same time, the urban nightscape has been reshaped with the immersion of light-emitting diode (LED) technologies. Especially in the last decade, where most municipalities in the EU28 (European Union of all the member states from the accession of Croatia in 2013 to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom in 2020) are refurbishing their road lighting with LED technology and the consideration of smart networks and surveillance is under development, the use of lighting to deter possible attempted felonies in UPS is not addressed. To capitalize on the potential of lighting as a deterrent, this paper proposes a framework that uses existing technology, namely, dimmable LED light sources, presence sensors, security cameras, as well as emerging techniques such as artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled image recognition algorithms and big data analytics and presents a possible system that could be developed as a stand-alone product to alert possible dangerous situations, deter criminal activity and promote the perception of safety thus linking lighting and ICT-based surveillance towards safety and security in UPS.

“…Research topics related to smart cities have received great attention in recent years mainly due to the socio-technological aspects of urban development (Gupta et al, 2020). According to Barba-S anchez et al (2019), smart city initiatives have become an agent to face economic crisis and can be viewed as a revolution in the sustainable development of urban areas.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the use of m-government applications for public services providing in Brazil. As a secondary objective, the paper aims to analyze the relationship between the use of m-government applications and development.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the objective of this research, the 100 smartest cities of Brazil were selected and the mobile apps provided by their local governments were identified. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were adopted, including content analysis technique, chi-square test and regression analysis.FindingsThe results show that mobile apps developed by local governments of Brazilian smart cities include information and public services access, health, education, security, tourism, water supply system, environment, among others. The results also show a positive relationship between apps downloads and development indexes.Social implicationsThis paper emphasizes the social side of information technology, showing that it can contribute to the implementation of more inclusive cities that respond to the needs and interests of their citizens.Originality/valueThis paper presents empirical evidences of the potential benefits of m-government technologies for development in an emerging country. Moreover, it highlights how mobile applications developed by local governments may lead to a better quality of life of the population, considering a comprehensive approach of development that involves its economic, social and human dimensions.
