“…The articles in this special issue contain several important policy lessons. First, the implementation of HRBA-by-design in policy frameworks is a working tool that helps protect individual, collective and public interests in our rapidly digitised and automated cities (see Hacker & Neyer, 2023;Lane, 2023a). Second, the HRBA in cities approach may serve as a means to protect fundamental rights that do not offer HRBA by design protections similar to the GDPR (see Ramiro & Cruz, 2023).…”

“…The by-design HRBA approach is also evident in fundamental rights in the smart city. The article byLane (2023a) is the first one to investigate the impact of the recent EU proposal for a due diligence directive (2022) on smart city technologies. The directive would introduce binding preventive corporate responsibility obligations on European businesses;Lane (2023a) analyses the relevance of the directive in the context of smart city AI systems and its alignment with the AI Act proposal.…”

While the GDPR and other EU laws seek to mitigate a range of potential harms associated with smart cities, the compliance with and enforceability of these regulations remain an issue. In addition, these proposed regulations do not sufficiently address the collective harms associated with the deployment of biometric technologies and artificial intelligence. Another relevant question is whether the initiatives put forward to secure fundamental human rights in the digital realm account for the issues brought on by the deployment of technologies in city spaces. In this special issue, we employ the smart city notion as a point of connection for interdisciplinary research on the human rights implications of the algorithmic, biometric and smart city technologies and the policy responses to them. The articles included in the special issue analyse the latest European regulations as well as soft law, and the policy frameworks that are currently at work in the regions where the GDPR does not apply.

“…In comparison to China, Europe has strong constitutional safeguards that protect fundamental rights (Geller, 2022). These rights protections also apply to smart cities, which is reflected in the European legal literature that lays out the legal context that grants protection for fundamental rights (Hacker & Neyer, 2023;Lane, 2023;Mobilio, 2023;Wernick et al, 2023).…”

“…The concept of smart cities is related to the resource demand of cities. Within this general context, new cities, also known as "smart cities" or "smart and sustainable cities", incorporate information technologies [1] and sustainability layers [2,3]. However, they still have infrastructure problems that need to be resolved [2], in addition to numerous violations of human rights defined by the United Nations [4].…”

This article focuses on fundamental human rights based on a historical literature review. Methodologically, a literature review and application of the design thinking (DT) method were used in three sessions using storytelling techniques and canvas drawings with managers specializing in “smart and sustainable city” projects in Brazil. The scientific work demonstrates that, in the view of the participating experts selected according to the research criteria, there are many gaps regarding fundamental human rights in cities. The digitalization of cities, with its layers of digital governance, alone is insufficient to cover gaps in basic information for populations. With the participants’ insights, it was possible to design and develop a software application (app) under strict requirements with anonymization and geolocations of human rights violations. The tests also highlighted limitations and future improvements. It is believed that the article brings an innovative approach from a scientific point of view, with a high degree of originality due to the outcomes generated from the experiences of the authors and managers specializing in managing new “smart cities”. This governance tool has the potential to be installed and improved in more than 30 countries and thus serve almost 70 million citizens around the world. A software technology transfer has already been made to the project’s partner company.
