Abstract Smart city technologies have enabled the tracking of urban residents to a more granular degree than previously was possible. The increase in data collection and analysis, enabled by artificial intelligence, presents privacy, safety, and other ethical concerns. This systematic review collects and organizes the body of knowledge surrounding ethics of smart cities. Authors used a keyword search in 5 databases to highlight 34 academic publications dated between 2014 and 2022. The work demonstrates that articles are generally focused on ethical concerns of privacy, safety, and fairness, specific technology-based reviews, or frameworks and lenses to guide conversation. This paper helps to organize a cross-disciplinary topic and collects the body of knowledge around smart city ethics into a singular, comprehensive source for practitioners, researchers, and stakeholders.
