On 17 September 2024, thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies used by civilians, an unspecified portion of which belonged to militants of the political party and paramilitary group Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon exploded simultaneously, killing dozens of users (including innocent children), maiming thousands, and creating chaos and panic in the streets.1 The attack was repeated across Lebanon the day after, on 18 September 2024, and allegedly involved detonations of other electronic devices (including those containing solar and lithium batteries).2 Those who committed this crime did not carefully select their targets; rather let explosions thunder in hospitals, markets, streets, shops, and even pharmacies. This was a coordinated remote-controlled operation, for which no one has formally taken responsibility so far.

Resilient smart cities, largely driven by developments in the Internet-of-Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data science (DS) technologies, have been promoted as a prominent way to mitigate emergencies and improve the perceived quality of life. However, despite the increasing affordability and effectiveness of these technologies, an unequal distribution of smart city services has been noted, usually resulting from spatial and socioeconomic disparities. Therefore, as cities prepare themselves to better face the negative impacts of climate change and increasing urbanization challenges, it is crucial to address inherent urban inequalities when planning and deploying technological solutions to detect and mitigate urban emergencies. This article discusses key aspects that should be considered when promoting resilient smart cities that benefit all urban residents.
