Project Background

i-City Malaysia is a prominent, technology-driven urban development located in Shah Alam, Selangor. Functioning as a major commercial, residential, and leisure hub—highly celebrated for its digital theme park and smart infrastructure—the organization focuses on integrating advanced technologies into urban planning to create a seamless, forward-thinking environment for living, working, and recreation.

Challenges

Despite offering premium amenities, diverse entertainment options, and modern residential facilities, the development faced the challenge of a fragmented user experience across its ecosystem. Visitors often struggled to efficiently discover attractions and optimize their trips within specific budget and time constraints, while residents lacked a unified, highly localized tool to streamline daily needs like property updates, visitor registration, and parking. This gap made it difficult to generate sustained destination awareness, deliver a memorable "wow" factor for leisure travelers, and maximize long-term residential satisfaction through a single, cohesive digital portal.

Problem solving with design thinking workshop

Lizard Global developed an intuitive, centralized smart city mobile application that adapts dynamically to the user's specific persona—whether they are a resident, worker, or visitor. The core of the solution features a highly personalized Activity Planner that generates customized, optimized itineraries based on budgets, schedules, party sizes, and specific moods. By seamlessly integrating everything from real-time info collection to e-ticketing and property services, the platform provides a frictionless, immersive lifestyle experience.
