  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.
