The high upfront investments, inadequate funding, technical challenges and major gaps in implementing centralized water systems necessitate the exploration of more viable, environment friendly and economically sustainable options. At the same time, the increasing scarcity of water requires an ‘end-to-end’ or ‘source-to-source’ management approach. This paper provides the framework for an alternative decentralized solution that can both complement the conventional centralized solution to water and wastewater management. It provides the vital building blocks for the development of SMART Cities by making homes, buildings and communities water sustainable through a new Blue Building Standard that uses economically and technically viable technologies. In such a framework, the end users become active partners and collaborators with service providers and utilities in the management of water from source to source, at source. Only with the development and adoption of new standards can decentralized solution realize its potential of becoming a mainstream solution in urban water management.

When modern technology permeates every corner of life, there are ignited more and more hopes among the disabled to be compensated for the loss of mobility and participation in normal life, and with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), Exoskeleton Technologies and truly hands free technologies (HMI), it's possible for the disabled to be included in the social and pedagogic spheres, especially via computers and smartphones with social media apps and digital instruments for Augmented Reality (AR) .In this paper a nouvel HMI technology is presented with relevance for the inclusion of disabled in every day life with specific focus on the future development of "smart cities" and "smart homes".

This paper presents the evaluation of usersХ experiences in three intelligent lighting pilots in Finland. Two of the case studies are related to the use of intelligent lighting in different kinds of traffic areas, having emphasis on aspects of visibility, traffic and movement safety, and sense of security. The last case study presents a more complex view to the experience of intelligent lighting in smart city contexts. The evaluation methods, tailored to each pilot context, include questionnaires, an urban dashboard, in-situ interviews and observations, evaluation probes, and system data analyses. The applicability of the selected and tested methods is discussed reflecting the process and achieved results.
