Abstrak

The integration of digital technologies into urban planning has given rise to "smart cities," aiming to enhance quality of life and operational efficiency. However, the implementation of such technologies introduces ethical challenges, including data privacy, equity, inclusion, and transparency. This article employs the Beard and Longstaff framework to discuss these challenges through a combination of theoretical analysis and case studies. Focusing on principles of self-determination, fairness, accessibility, and purpose, the study examines governance models, stakeholder roles, and ethical dilemmas inherent in smart city initiatives. Recommendations include adopting regulatory sandboxes, fostering participatory governance, and bridging digital divides to ensure that smart cities align with societal values, promoting inclusivity and ethical urban development.
