Title Smart City: Give the People What They Want
Year 2018
Published
Abstract Data drives the smart city. From autonomous vehicles to air quality, from rain water and storm sewer systems to smart electric meters on homes and smart parking meters on the street, cities have big data plans. Along with their technology partners, city leaders are in the process of developing systems, ideally systems that their communities actually want. The tech world has often expressed concern over the great volume of data that will be generated in smart cities. The generated volume does justify that concern but data volume is not what citizens worry about. Our work has addressed the citizens of these communities and they have expressed a different concern,. Working at the intersection of anthropology, policy, and technology, we have been asking how citizens think "their" smart city should handle data.
