Abstract Smart technologies promise to increase the quality of living and life - especially for elderly and impaired people. Following the "Smart City" paradigm, new challenges arise to increase the attractiveness of a residential district. This paper analyses driving and inhibiting factors in Smart Districts by a case study focusing the ageing society. It turns out that Natural User Interfaces can be seen as a forcing technology. As a result, domain-specific conditions and concepts are proposed to be implemented in dialogue systems for adaptive service provision. Objectives are to reduce the acceptance thresholds and to generate added value for all stakeholders.
