Research Summary
As cities continue to struggle with the challenges posed by rapid urbanization, environmental concerns, and resource constraints, smart cities offer a promising solution. Smart cities utilize information communication technologies (ICTs) to address infrastructure issues and lay the groundwork for a more sustainable, inclusive, and technologically advanced future. However, upon closer observation, negative themes of surveillance, privacy concerns, information leakage and digital divide all emerge. Using Sidewalk Lab’s project Quayside in Toronto, this research will critically examine concerns of surveillance and the digital divide to gain a comprehensive understanding of smart cities.
