The role of trust in happiness and wellbeing in smart cities

Trust plays a critical role in how we interact with the world around us.  The use of technology and analysis of data can only be successful when citizens trust the technology around them and can be sure of its purpose. 

This leads to important ethical considerations around the collection, analysis and processing of information which Smart city project planners must address.

Axis' latest white paper analyses the current approaches to measuring the benefits of Smart City projects and what makes them successful.  It also explores the steps that can be taken to improve overall success by introducing transparent, ethical approaches to monitoring and information gathering.

Read the white paper to better understand:

  • The role of data - smarter use of information to benefit city-wide decision making
  • Addressing privacy concerns - identifying the issues and determining how they can be rectified
  • The issue of trust - analysing the impact of a lack of trust by citizens in smart city projects
  • Gaining user satisfaction - why this must be the end goal for technology vendors
  • Ethical user satisfaction - the importance of removing bias and ensuring fairness and equality

Download your copy of the white paper to learn how gaining greater citizen buy-in to the operations of the Smart City environment and understanding the purpose of its projects can result in a more customised, streamlined experience that will vastly improve smart city liveability.
