Abstract The study analyzes the use of digital technologies as a platform for the integration of adults aged 60 and over to smart cities and proposes policies and strategies to governments that allow the reduction of the prevailing backwardness in digital literacy. The results show the existence of significant inequalities in the use, access, modality, and frequency of ICT by this age group; the gap is deepened by age, level of education, social stratum and gender. Some other factors of perception hinder the adoption of technology use, such as lack of knowledge, lack of access to ICTs, lack of knowledge about the use of ICTs, lack of access to ICTs, lack of knowledge about the use of ICTs, and lack of access to ICTs, lack of interest or feeling that they do not need to use ICTs, the latter factors have been identified as the main obstacles to associating the usefulness of these tools to their benefit. © 2023, IGI Global.
