Abstract The proliferation and sharing of data in smart cities presents both unprecedented opportunities for urban innovation and substantial challenges around privacy, governance, and data ownership. To leverage the opportunities and handle the challenges, data trusts present a model for secure, privacy-preserving data sharing in urban environments. We critically review regulatory frameworks such as the European Union’s GDPR and Data Governance Act and perform a structured literature review and analysis of existing data governance and privacy-enhancing technologies that integrate usage control, advanced anonymization, and consent management to enable scalable, redacted data sharing while upholding individuals’ rights and intellectual property boundaries. Our results shed light on an emerging concept for resilient smart city data ecosystems and outline future research avenues for trustworthy urban data sharing and governance.
