One of the most pressing issues in a smart city is the secure management of sensitive information. To make informed decisions, a variety of data—ranging from energy consumption to personal details like CCTV footage—must be collected. However, this raises concerns about data security and privacy. The local government must ensure that this information is handled with the highest level of security and is resilient against cyber attacks. Additionally, the collection and use of personal data by authorities can lead to increased social control, which poses significant privacy concerns. Many companies in the smart city sector are relatively new, with business models that have not yet been fully tested or proven profitable. Despite significant investment from cities, these companies need to establish sustainable business practices to ensure long-term viability. Furthermore, the operation of smart cities requires a workforce equipped with specialized skills, which are currently in short supply. To address this gap, cities need to invest in training and educational programs to prepare workers, government officials, and citizens for the demands of a smart city. Transforming an urban area into a smart city requires substantial investment. Buildings need to be renovated or fitted with IoT sensors and high-speed internet connections, and public transport and infrastructure must be upgraded with smart technology. These improvements come with high costs, and cities must carefully evaluate what is necessary to achieve the desired transformation.
