properly explain what kind of city they'd like to live in. that's the starting point and we can begin designing a smart city based on those demands. of the city and want to turn it into a small city you have to consider the following. you need to make your city interconnected by adding census that data for instance to cause the street to be able to regulate traffic or to measuring station stations throughout the town that measure. the smart city is usually a combination of the different urban systems that we have. for the most that means mobility systems housing systems administrators systems energy systems education systems and so on anything affecting citizens in their everyday lives can be

it's precisely this data that provides the basis for implementing and controlling the city system. as a result very careful and conscientious decisions need to be made regarding how the data is handled. if the city controls this can be advantageous when it comes to data protection but most cities lack the technical expertise to process and analyze the data for this reason many cities cooperate with big tech companies they have the capacity and the algorithms needed to work with data masses like google. the alphabet corp it will construct an entire district of tarantulas with the newest technology of course but the data sovereignty stays with corporations like alphabet which is problematic as they use our data to make money. an entire city state and that's really off as many opportunities so what to do experts argue for so-called data utilities the publicly financed but independent organizations they managed to

but actually there is no reason for concern the cameras protect the customers and that's drivers to. privacy is ensured as not everyone can view the videos. according to the taxi headquarters all data is well protected and deleted after $72.00. they say the system is great for educating drive is and the footage can be used to settle conflicts complaints the taxi provider also says customers complain less frequently and that most likely camera as to drive is less worried about being threatened but the police also has access to the video is really people really taxis. another problem small street parking lots. are connected to the internet and potential gateways for hackers theoretically one weak link is all it takes to shut down the city's central servers. and cyber
