SAN DIEGO, Calif. â Streetlights are becoming as smart as our cell phones, monitoring everything from available parking to weather conditions. Cities and countries around the world are embracing these smart city technologies.
But capable of collecting massive amounts of data, some worry the technology could harm the people itâs supposed to help.
âWe serve primarily the refugee community, but also the Muslim, South Asian, Black immigrant community here in San Diego. And our communities historically have been affected by over-surveillance, especially after September 11," said Homayra Yusufi, with the Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans (PANA).

Building a 'smart' Morrisville: Leaders have a plan – and it could be an award winner

MORRISVILLE – How smart is Morrisville’s plan for a smart-city future? Could be an award winner.
The Town submitted two projects as a part of their application, and is the smallest municipality in terms of population and the size of the local government workforce, according to Rick Ralph, the Town of Morrisville’s CIO.
The selected park to pilot the project is Cedar Fork District Park, said Ralph in an interview with WRAL TechWire. The town plans to install flood sensors, ground moisture sensors, electric gates, and digital signage at the park, as well as feed the data to a central dashboard that can be viewed in real-time by residents, guests who hold reservations, and town staff.
