Abstract

This chapter critically explores the transformation of urban safety paradigms in response to accelerating urbanisation, complex systemic risks, and emerging technologies. It examines the integration of intelligent surveillance systems, predictive crime analytics, and advanced emergency management platforms, underpinned by artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and multisectoral data fusion. Emphasis is placed on the ethical and governance imperatives surrounding algorithmic transparency, digital equity, and cyber resilience. The analysis demonstrates that safe cities must move beyond reactive models towards anticipatory, inclusive frameworks that embed technological innovation within democratic, human-centred urban governance. The chapter concludes by identifying future challenges—including neuro-rights, post-quantum security, and digital exclusion—and advocates for a holistic, ethically grounded vision of urban resilience.
