SOCIETAL IMPACT 33 G20 Global Smart Cities Alliance, World Economic Forum, Geneva The G20 Global Smart Cities Alliance on Technology Governance collaborates with governments, private-sector partners, and city residents around a shared set of principles for responsible and ethical use of smart city technologies. It establishes global policy norms, accelerates best practices, and fosters public trust. The alliance, with experts worldwide, develops Policy Roadmaps for responsible, ethical smart cities. Currently, 36 pioneer cities have validated the roadmaps, and many are implementing their policies globally. Primer for Smart City Public-Private Collaborations (2023) Professor Yarime contributed to developing the Primer for Smart City Public-Private Collaborations. As smart city plans need large investments that are dif cult to nance with traditional public funds, public private collaborations are a feasible choice for tackling public nancing shortages and expenditure reduction. He collaborated with task force members coming from academia, industry, and government to examine the underlying potential for PPCs in a smart city context and address various issues associated with PPCs, from policy considerations to implementation issues. The primer helps key stakeholders in the public and private sectors in smart cities understand the basic structure of a successful PPC policy framework and a full overview of the primary characteristics of PPCs that impact the policy framework’s nature. It supports a robust public-private collaboration framework in the digital transformation of infrastructure to increase ef ciency, experience, safety, sustainability and resilience. Model Policy - Privacy Impact Assessment (2023) Professor Yarime contributed to developing the Model Policy for Privacy Impact Assessment. When deploying innovative smart city technologies, a city needs to work to nd a fair balance between gathering information to provide needed services and protecting the public’s privacy. He collaborated with the task force members from academia, industry, and government across the globe to develop privacy impact assessments that consist of a set of processes to identify and manage privacy risks throughout the complete data life cycle, from collection through disposal. The PIAs are currently helping smart cities in various countries increase transparency and accountability, support public trust, mitigate potential privacy harms, improve compliance and reduce legal risk, and enable more con dent and consistent decision-making about data and technology by city of cials, their partners and the public.
