I think I’m today world we can’t escape from this matter. Because all information about us have already put into internet !
Privacy is my fundamental right. But not at the cost of other's independence / safety. If everybody is unknown to the system how the system (government) will be able to control and trace the crime of any kind.
Government must have data enough to trace a criminal to save the interests / lives of others.

Pandoras box has been opened regardless... AI, smart interconnected devices are nearly upon all of us.. in one form or another.. we sold our privacy down the drain years ago.. and can't turn back now.. so... bring it on... its going to happen with or without your consent anyway, in a neighbourhood near you eventually.
I sort of agree with this. When we purchased our smartphones and created social media profiles, we also agreed to lose a part of our privacy. It's already out there. They already have our information out there. This having a smart city will just make it official and known to us that our data is accessible for everyone. What do you think?
Depends on how much of my privacy I need to sacrifice and depends on how "smart" this city is going to be. For example, China is becoming a technologically advanced city but the residents seemed like they are living straight out of Black Mirror. I don't think that's a city I want to live in regardless of how "smart" the city is.
Ah yes, with their social standing credit thing... They are like living in a prequel to a Dystopian novel and they are not even aware of it because it appears to them that what they are doing is something normal. They appear to embrace Big Brother with open arms. 
No, and I've left countries where they wanted me to register. I've also turned off mobile data on my smartphone. Everybody should do it.

Most providers are obligated to store network data for law, everything is already monitored

And I am talking about "smart cities". I was reading this article > https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/11/google-sidewalk-labs/575551/
It says: Soon enough, we’ll have a smart city: Sidewalk Labs, a subsidiary of Google’s parent company, Alphabet, is building one “from the internet up,” with help from a series of private-public real-estate partnerships in the downtown Toronto neighborhood Quayside.
The “vision document” imagines not only the revitalization of a 12-acre plot that has sat largely vacant since its heyday as an industrial port, but its transformation into a micro-city outfitted with smart technologies that will use data to disrupt everything from traffic congestion to health care, housing, zoning regulations, and greenhouse-gas emissions.
But all those data require mechanisms to collect them, and the march to an “always on” city has drawn an onslaught of accusations against Sidewalk Labs and its real-estate partner, Waterfront Toronto, for dismissing privacy concerns and misinforming residents. In the past month, four people have resigned from Waterfront Toronto’s and Sidewalk Labs’ advisory board over concerns about privacy and lack of public input.

If you were informed beforehand about all these privacy concerns, would you still live in a "smart" city that is supposedly convenient and "smart" to live in?
