SRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND COMPILANCE REQUIREMENT PROCESS 2022

The theme of the assignment is the impact on Corporate and Information Governance of the EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) on the use and analytics of Big Data in Smart Cities. You can find the UK ICO briefing document here https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisations/documents/2013559/big-data-ai-ml-and-data-protection.pdf . We will cover the key aspects of this in the first couple of weeks of term. Many businesses and researchers are wanting to use these techniques to improve the effectiveness of their businesses in cities. This assignment will require you to evaluate the Governance and Compliance strategy that businesses and research organisations need to develop in order to comply with the GDPR. What you need to do is to find a proposed use of IoT sourced data for Smart Cities from the thousands of use-cases that can be found on the internet to manage some aspect of our lives or business which will involve the use of Personal Identifying Information.

Abstract: This paper consist a detailed elaboration on the Toronto Waterfront
proposal which is primarily intended to develop one of the smart cities across the
world. However, the proposal consists of several limitations which are discussed
in this paper. Along with this discussion it also consists a detailed elaboration on
the effective strategies that holds the capability to reduce the limitations of the
proposal.
Keywords: Smart City, Toronto Waterfront, ethical issues, data privacy and security.
1. Introduction:
Considering the rapid growth of technology it is noticed that smart cities are of the most trending
innovations that is ruling the world. Now a days counties across the world is very much
interested towards developing the one of the most advance cities which will be able to offer
effective features to its citizens with the purpose to stay a little ahead from other cities.
Considering these aspects in study has primarily focused on the smart city proposal of Toronto
Waterfront, which is one of the most innovative proposal approached by the Google’s sister
company Sidewalk Labs (Citylab.com 2020).
This study will consists a detailed elaboration on the key factors and its possible impacts. Along
with this it will also include a detailed analysis of present issues and followed by the
identifications it will recommend effective strategies to mitigate those identified issues.
Following the above mentioned statement in the below section the key factors and its impact are
listed:-
1.1 Key factors-
 One of the key factors of Toronto Waterfront is to improve the social, economic as well
as the cultural values of the selected land in such manner that it will not harm the
environment as well as the residents (Hashem et al., 2016).
 Sustainability is also one of the key factors of the nominated.
 Along with this one of the key factor behind Toronto proposal is to develop a city with
advance technological infrastructure.
 Development real estate is also one of the key factors.

1.2 Impact-
As it is discussed in the above section that Toronto Waterfront proposal has been introduced
for the land with the purpose to improve the sustainability and economic growth of the
selected land. However, along with these benefits it is noticed that the residents present in
Toronto are very much worried about the fact that their lives will be monitored by digital
sensors. Hence, it can be stated that this approach has positively impacted many aspects of
the land but the residing people of the land are negatively influenced by the threat of security
and privacy (Hong et al., 2019).
2. Evaluation of Governance issues:
Followed by the above identifications it is noticed that the Toronto Waterfront proposal is one of
the most innovative as well as promising the proposal which has the opportunity to improve the
economic, social as well as the technological growth of the selected land (Lim, Kim and Maglio
2018). While analyzing the key functionalities of this proposal it is determined that this smart
city will consist several supervision technologies as well as sensors that will collect the data of
the smart city activities and the collected data will be handled by any third party.
Followed by a thorough analysis on the Sidewalk Labs digital governance proposal it is
identified that this has proposed for the below mentioned field:-
 Urban City data- consist of a non-private, private as well as other confidential data that is
collected from the physical space of the city. Along with this it is also identified that
Sidewalk has approached to establish effective policies to collect those data (Okcuoglu
2019).
 Urban data trust- is such data agent that will be developed to monitor the data usage and
collection of both private and public organization. The data trust would have the authority
to limit the data accessibility and utilization as these data will be handled by Data trust.
 Transaction data- consists of several information like commercial data as well as the
information about the financial transactions. However, similar to the collection of urban
data the Sidewalk has not introduced any rules to manage and restrict the process of these
types of collection.
 Responsible data use assessment- will consists a data which will be used to analyze the
influence of these data on the people and community (Osman 2019).
Considering above identifications it is noticed that there are several limitation present in this
scenario, which is related to the governance. Thus, in the below section a detailed elaboration of
the governance risk, governance ethics and governance compliance is present which will help to
get a depth idea about the governance issues in this approach.
2.1 Identified governance risk-
Followed by the above identification it is noticed that there are several governance risk
present in the Digital Governance proposal of Sidewalk Labs, which includes the
followings:-
 While analysing the proposed digital governance proposal it is identified that one of the
major risk present in this proposal is reacted to the privacy concern of the citizens as it is

3SRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND COMPILANCE REQUIREMENT
noticed that Sidewalk has proposed to gather private as well as non-private data of citizens
from physical spaces (Won 2018).
 The collected data will be handled by third party which may also raise a significant concern
related to security and privacy of the citizens.
2.2 Identified governance ethical issues-
While analysing the governance ethical issues it is noticed that this proposal raises trust
issues as in the proposal it is mentioned that urban data, transactional data as well as other
data will be collected by using the sensors and other devices. In this scenario it can be stated
that collecting data without the concern of the owner of that data is very much unethical.
Along with this it is identified that collection of data and analysing those data for any
individual purpose is very much unethical. Hence, it can be stated that privacy and
confidentiality of the user data should be protected (Pramanik et al., 2017).
2.3 Identified governance compliance issues-
Along with the above mentioned aspects it is noticed that in the nominated case scenario
there are several threats present which are caused by compliance threats. While analysing this
aspect it is noticed that rapid growth of data may cause a huge threat to the proposed digital
governance as it will become very challenging to gather such diverse data (Rathore et al.,
2016).
Along with this legacy of data management could become very challenging of for Sidewalk
labs as in order to collect such large set of data it will become very difficult to store them and
manage. Apart from the above mentioned aspects threats of data breaches are still their which
may significantly impact the effectiveness of nominated technologies.
3. Governance Strategy Proposal:
Considering the fact that the primary objective of the Toronto Waterfront proposal is to
develop such smart city that will consists of sustainability, social capabilities, managerial
effectiveness, economic stability, legal status as well as consist an advance technological
infrastructure. As it is identified from the investigation that in the approached development one
of the most significant limitation is caused by the sensors and by the data collector technologies
as these technologies monitors the activities of the citizens and gathers their personal data as well
(Tang et al., 2017). Hence, it can be stated that it may cause a huge blunder to the privacy and
security concern to the citizens.
Making allowance to this concern it is very essential to develop such smart city framework
that will help to eliminate the identified issues. Thus, in the below section a brief overview of the
recommended framework is mentioned:-
 As it is identified that the collected data will be handled by third party thus, it is very
essential to incorporate effective data collection strategies as well as Cryptography
process that will help to protect the user data. Adoption of Advance consumer privacy
bill of rights will also help to manage the information collection by technologies.
 Implementation of National Data Brach Legislation will help to protect the gathered data
from external threats (Sengupta et al., 2017).
 Amendment of electronic communication privacy act will also help to regulate the
collection of transactional data.

 Along with the above mentioned aspects it is very essential to inform citizens about the
sensors as well as about the data collection process and it is also very essential to take the
consent from the owner of those data before collection and analysis those data (Song et
al., 2017).
 Apart from the above mentioned strategies it is also very essential to value the privacy of
the user data.
After completion of the above discussion it can be stated that following the above mentioned
strategies the smart city framework of Toronto Waterfront will be able to eliminate the identified
limitations.
4. Conclusion:
After completion of this paper it can be stated that in this study the case scenario of Toronto
Waterfront has been analyzed. From the analysis it is identified that a company owned by
Google, SideWalk Labs has proposed to develop a smart city on the nominated land which will
consists several features like smart vehicle and many others. Followed by these identifications it
is noticed that in this scenario there are several limitations present which holds a major impact on
the security and privacy of its citizens. Considering this aspect in this study the limitations are
investigate and based on those limitations several strategies has been recommended which will
help to improve the operations of the smart city. Thus, it can be concluded that this paper will
give a detailed analysis about the concept on how technology influences our daily lives as well as
the limitations of those technologies.
