Latin American Cities in the Fourth Industrial Revolution: The Potential and Social Risks of Smart-Cities Technologies

Abstract

In the wake of the implementation of smart-city technologies in Latin American cities, this article reviews both their potential for making municipal administration and local service delivery more efficient and the risk they pose, particularly to vulnerable communities. Based on the literature and the international experience on the social and policy effects of algorithmic decision-making, it proposes a few criteria that local and national governments in the region should keep in mind to prevent some of the undesired effects that the implementation of these tools may have, while harnessing their benefits.
