Conceptual framework reveals determinants of privacy concerns in urban populations, indicating how data sensitivity and surveillance purposes drive public controversy.

Key Points

To construct a predictive framework evaluating how urban big data and smart city technologies generate privacy concerns across diverse urban populations.
Developed a 2 × 2 matrix crossing data sensitivity (personal versus impersonal data) with data collection purpose (service delivery versus surveillance).
Applied and illustrated the framework's academic and practical utility using real-world case examples from the city of Rotterdam.
Negligible privacy concerns are predicted when impersonal data are gathered solely for service provision purposes.
Heightened privacy concerns and public controversy are concentrated around applications collecting personal data for surveillance purposes.
The model provides a sensitizing assessment tool for municipal governments to anticipate and evaluate emerging privacy risks prior to technological deployment.
