BODW CityProg 2020

Introduction

BODW CityProg (CityProg) is a citywide creative business and community activation programme that features 3 distinct platforms: “Anchor Site Festivals”, “Design EduVation” and “Satellite Events & Offers”. The programme activates local creative neighbourhoods by connecting creative units, business and community organisations through co-creation, exchange, matching and partnership. As new alliances and ideas start to flourish, CityProg engages people of all ages with exciting happenings, enhances public spaces, and encourages creativity and design to take wing in the community, fostering the development of local creative ecosystems.

As a community extension of Business of Design Week (BODW), CityProg spans all year round with its peak in November to December and major happenings during BODW period, i.e. 28 Nov - 6 Dec 2020. Coming to its third edition, this year CityProg is themed on "20/20 Vision of Post-pandemic World" which will present more than 200 design and creative happenings to inspire the public to search for their unique 20/20 vision and a spirit of designing for society.

CityProg was debuted in 2018 by Hong Kong Design Centre, with Create Hong Kong of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as the Lead Sponsor.
