DESIGN AND CITY
Starting from 2018, Hong Kong Design Centre and CityProg have been organisinga series of placemaking programmes, with Sham Shui Po as the key district and extending to other potential creative clusters. All these programmes aim to strengthen the connection among residents, districts and businesses through design, reinforce the creative confidence and create strong impetus for growth in the districts, and promote creative and cultural tourism. CityProg 2023 joins hands with creative partners in Sham Shui Po, Aberdeen and To Kwa Wan to stage a wide range of placemaking programmes to showcase the appeal of circular design to the public.

DESIGN AND BUSINESS
Design can drive the development of new circular economies to shape a greener, more sustainable future. CityProg 2023 delves into the relationship between circular design and business, presenting a series of events with creative partners covering architectural design, product design, community design, service design, branding, motion design, creative tourism and more.

DESIGN AND LIFESTYLE
CityProg organises design events related to films, games and travel for the first time, inviting the public to deep dive into design and its value in an entertaining way.
