The Smart Cultural Precinct is an ongoing initiative that aims to uplift the community of Central District, Hong Kong. One proposed method of accomplishing this is through a digital platform, such as a mobile application. The project goal was to design a potential SCP mobile app and assess the feasibility of its development and long-term maintenance. The mobile app would promote and support the SCP region by offering a digital platform to a variety of stakeholders to come together, strengthening the community of Central. Over the course of the project, heritage sites in the SCP were identified, community perspectives were collected, and a market analysis was conducted to create a tangible identity for the SCP app through an interactive app prototype. Targeted feedback was gathered through developer consultations, allowing for the creation of a set of final recommendations for the future of the SCP app.
