Description

What do you think of a waste picker? poor? Or ragged? These are all stereotypes that people have about Hong Kong waste pickers. In fact, when we look at the data and talk to the waste pickers, we discover the "secret" that they become waste pickers. Not only because of poverty but also because of their flexible working hours and killing time, etc. However, these stereotypes lead to degrading behaviors by citizens towards waste pickers and cause damage to their psychology. "Subcity" is a design that hopes to change the poor image of Hong Kong waste pickers. By changing the image, improving the work environment and increasing communication, establishing the importance of waste pickers to the society and the recycling industry, and creating a positive perception of the citizens. Citizens will no longer verbally and physically bully them because of stereotypes. Also, to protect the working safety of waste pickers through the design.
