Abstract The paper analyzes the possibilities and potential for future IoT Smart City applications which could improve the living and working conditions of people with disabilities (PwD) and considers several key factors for achieving this goal. It shows the presence of PwD in the general population, their actual social significance, and the specific necessities for their integration into regular life and work. Next part relates to the capabilities of the communication and information infrastructure related to this specific objective. Furthermore, the important factor is development of IoT Smart City applications obeying the principles of universal design. The appliance of Digital Twin Technology could play a significant role in this development. In conclusion, the paper provides a vision of an approach to the sustainable development of IoT Smart City applications that are highly tailored to the needs of PwD. © 2020 Croatian Society MIPRO.
