Popis: This chapter aims to discuss disability, aging, and accessibility and their relationship with technology trends, taking into account a world full of different kind of constraints, taking Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Sydney (Australia) as study cases. Moreover, the authors also study how a hypothetically smart and accessible city could set the basis for making it touristic for all. Particularly, this chapter focuses on how cities that are being designed and planned under the smart city/destination model do not always consider people with disabilities and seniors in their models. So, these models that leave out more than the 30% of the world's population are not only inappropriate but also ineffective and inefficient, and consequently challenge the underlining sustainability of such projects.
