摘要

For low-income countries and marginalized people, these innovations and emerging trends can bring about genuinely transformative possibilities for access and inclusion. However, it is still far from reality due to technological limitations and acceptance, are demonstrated. There are issues surrounding these technologies, too, as we foster our intelligent communities and cities, with multiple entrants and complex landscapes, and sometimes need to wait as the dust of problems gets resolved. There are many emerging innovations, existing for some time or becoming more mainstream, that build on technological advances and social trends or bring the latest technologies to bear on issues and parts of the sector that were previously beyond their reach within the environment. There is a capacity across consumers and practitioners in the water, sanitation, and hygiene sectors that are critical in smart living, and further still in the broader technology for the sector, to use such advances to tap into solving our and, by extension, our environment’s problems. Therefore, the innovations themselves are not invisible, and many draw upon the latest developments in technology, as well as a rapidly evolving understanding of how human and economic systems are responding to the challenge of achieving those goals.
