Description

The Hong Kong Remapping Project is a set of city exploration tool kit that encourages and facilitates locals of Hong Kong to redefine their city. Users are guided with provided themes that introduce alternative perspectives to local’s existing knowledge and typical impressions towards different districts. Along the journey of exploring different districts, users can make marks and records of their discoveries and the experience. Hence they would be able to enrich each district’s definitions and impressions based on their journeys individually — their own findings from exploration journey, or collectively — based on the sharing and exchange of findings from exploration journeys that are conducted in groups.

「城形」是一套為香港和本地人而設計的城市發掘小工具，旨在鼓勵及協助香港人主動重新定義對城市的印象。透過不同的主題引導用家發掘本地人對某區的一些刻板印象以外的另類角度觀察城市。在探索各區的旅程中，用家可以為沿途的發現作記錄。按照個人的興趣和探索的收穫，或以群體方式透過分享和交換成果，為每區增添地道的釋義及嶄新獨特的印象。
