Finding the Balance between Privacy and Security
As cities wire up with more smart sensors to measure everything from flood water to human traffic, security efforts have to overcome various challenges to protect the critical infrastructure. Yet collecting, correlating and acting upon mountains of digital data can be considered an unjustified invasion of privacy undermining civil liberties. This panel will discuss how governments can enjoy the benefits of Big Data while respecting privacy and security.
Making Our Cities a Safer Place to Live
Insecurity has moved from being a social issue to being a serious development constraint as it discourages local investment and prevents the participation of people in active life, while restricting their access to services. Governments should take the lead in building safer communities. This panel will discuss how governments can ensure that investments and activities are delivered in close consultation with citizens and relevant stakeholders.
