About the Creative Digital District @ George Town

The Creative Digital District @ George Town (CD² @ George Town) is a place-making initiative to bring to life the Penang2030 vision of a “family-focused green and Smart State”. This first nucleus acts as a catalyst to spur innovation and investments in digital technology, software services and creative arts that will revive the urban core as a business district. We imagine it to evolve its heritage character into a city campus that will see the convergence of creative and digital to become a vibrant, liveable and sustainable environment where people can Live, Learn, Create and Play.

Our Masterplan

CD² @ George Town will expand beyond its current nucleus at Gat Lebuh China. Plans are underway to identify new spaces and buildings that could be repurposed to meet the needs of businesses of the future. Efforts will also be put into providing amenities and supporting services for a growing CD² @ George Town community. Some examples include a greater diversity of dining options, mobility solutions within the district, recreational spaces and green areas, and modern co-living spaces.
