The emergence of Smart Cities as a response to the need for efficient, sustainable, and livable urban environments has gained significant traction in recent years. Smart cities leverage advanced technologies to collect and analyze vast amounts of data, facilitating data-driven decision-making and improved services for residents. However, this data collection raises crucial concerns regarding privacy and the potential misuse of personal information. This article examines the global challenge of achieving a balance between data collection and privacy in the context of smart cities. It delves into the complexities surrounding urban data collection, highlighting the importance of safeguarding individuals' privacy rights. Drawing on international perspectives and best practices, this study proposes solutions to address this critical issue, including the implementation of robust data protection frameworks, privacy-enhancing technologies, and citizen-centric governance models. By striking the right balance between data collection and privacy, smart cities can harness the power of data while ensuring the protection of individuals' privacy rights in the digital age.
