Abstract

The city is a challenging environment for anybody elderly or with disabilities. Addressing these challenges so that elderly or disabled people encounter inclusive, friendlier, cities which are not frightening but supporting is the motivation of this work. Concretely, it lays out the ICT basis over which an ecosystem of user-centric urban apps aiding citizens in their daily activities may be assembled.
