Title: Smart Cities: Striking a Balance Between Urban Resilience and Civil Liberties
Authors: Sangchul Park
Abstract summary: Cities are becoming smarter and more resilient by integrating urban infrastructure with information technology. Concerns grow that smart cities might reverse progress on civil liberties when sensing, profiling, and predicting citizen activities. In response, cities need to deploy technical breakthroughs, such as privacy-enhancing technologies, cohort modelling, and fair and explainable machine learning.

Abstract: Cities are becoming smarter and more resilient by integrating urban infrastructure with information technology. However, concerns grow that smart cities might reverse progress on civil liberties when sensing, profiling, and predicting citizen activities; undermining citizen autonomy in connectivity, mobility, and energy consumption; and deprivatizing digital infrastructure. In response, cities need to deploy technical breakthroughs, such as privacy-enhancing technologies, cohort modelling, and fair and explainable machine learning. However, as throwing technologies at cities cannot always address civil liberty concerns, cities must ensure transparency and foster citizen participation to win public trust about the way resilience and liberties are balanced.

Wireless Crowd Detection for Smart Overtourism Mitigation [50.031356998422815]
This chapter describes a low-cost approach to monitoring overtourism based on mobile devices' wireless activity. The crowding sensors count the number of surrounding mobile devices, by detecting trace elements of wireless technologies. They run detection programs for several technologies, and fingerprinting analysis results are only stored locally in an anonymized database.
