“…These early studies provided a foundation for deeper scholarly examinations of public trust in the context of smart cities. This line of inquiry has since been carried forward in numerous studies, as shown in Table 1 (Chatterjee et al, 2017; Khan et al, 2017; Braun et al, 2018; Anwar et al, 2020; Julsrud and Krogstad, 2020; Tyagi et al, 2020; Cole and Tran, 2022; Ip and Cheng, 2022; Spicer et al, 2023). Issues examined include security and privacy, ethical dimensions of surveillance, creation of public value through digitization of public services, and the ability of technology to facilitate productive state-society interactions in smart city governance.…”

A survey of Hong Kong residents finds that public support for government technology, as understood through the concept of smart cities, is associated with concept-awareness and official communications. The statistical analysis identifies moderating effects attributable to personal social media use and controls for personal ideological views about scope of government intervention and perceived political legitimacy of smart city policies. The study builds on a growing body of empirical scholarship about public support for government technology, while also addressing a practical trend in urban governance: the growing sophistication of technologies like artificial intelligence and their use in strengthening government capacities. The Hong Kong case exemplifies ambitious investments in technology by governments and, at the time of the survey, relatively high freedom of political expression. The study’s findings help refine theories about state-society relations in the rapidly evolving context of technology for public sector use.

“…The literature also offers a variety of perspectives about the role of public trust in the context of smart cities, with security and privacy a common theme (Anwar, Nazir, and Ansari 2020; Tyagi et al 2020; Braun et al 2018; Chatterjee, Kumar Kar, and Gupta 2017; Khan, Pervez, and Abbasi 2017; Edwards 2016; van Zoonen 2016; Patsakis et al 2015; Khan, Pervez, and Abbasi 2014; Bohli, Langendorfer, and Skarmeta 2013). Topics of particular relevance to this study include the assertion of citizen control over politically or commercially captured smart city agendas (Keymolen 2019), the enhancement of trust in smart city endeavors through direct engagement and government-to-citizen communications about strategies, benefits, and risks (Glasco 2019), and smart city strategies as accountable for the variously described concept of “public value” (Bolivar 2019; Osella, Ferro, and Pautasso 2016; Cosgrave, Tryfonas, and Crick 2014; Walravens and Ballon 2013; Moore 1995).…”

Public Trust and Political Legitimacy in the Smart City: A Reckoning for Technocracy

The 2020 introduction by China’s central government of a national security law (NSL) in Hong Kong marked a watershed moment in the social and political history of the semiautonomous city. The law emerged after months of street protests that reflected declining public trust in Hong Kong’s government. Against this turbulent backdrop, Hong Kong’s policy projects moved forward, including smart city development. This article explores public trust in and political legitimacy of Hong Kong’s smart cities endeavors in the period leading up to the introduction of the NSL. At a theoretical level, the smart cities phenomenon invites critical reflection about tensions between technocracy and democracy, but this topic remains largely unexploited by empirical literature. Using survey data from 1,017 residents, this study identifies confidence in the benefits of smart cities but lesser trust in privacy and security and lesser satisfaction with participation opportunities in related policymaking. Probing these dynamics, the study finds that trust in smart city mechanics and governance associate positively with support for smart cities, controlling for ideology and issue awareness. Illuminating a theoretical and practical puzzle, these findings contribute empirically to discussions about the political legitimacy of scientific, technological, and technocratic undertakings in the public sector.

“…Another problem with the protection of personal information arises with the Internet of Things and intelligent technologies for crowdsourcing [16], such as in smart city projects [17]. Developers need to make sure that project initiators can collect and process big data for the purposes of data analytics and forecasting not only fast but also safely [18].…”

“…Developers need to make sure that project initiators can collect and process big data for the purposes of data analytics and forecasting not only fast but also safely [18]. Yet, organizations may still face data privacy challenges and lose the people's trust in cases of information misuse [16]. It often happens with crowdsensing and crowdsourcing platforms [19].…”

This research reviews challenges in building sustainable relationships between the parties involved in the crowdfunding and crowdsourcing projects, which are running in extreme situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to solve problems that generate the crowdsourcing concerns and to find better alternatives to increase trust for crowdfunding among donors, as this impacts their strategic sustainability in the conditions of turbulence and COVID-induced financial crisis. It was found that factors influence donor decisions in different ways, yet the common tendency for donor activity is non-monotonicity. Future development in the field of sustainable relationships should focus on creating a donor classification system.
