Global Vote Opens to Choose 7 Wonders of Future Cities
New7Wonders has launched a worldwide public vote to select city development projects shaping urban futures, with voting open at 7wondersfc.com.
A global public vote to determine the Seven Wonders of Future Cities officially opened this week, with New7Wonders launching the campaign at www.7wondersfc.com and inviting participants worldwide to weigh in on the urban development projects they believe will define coming generations.
The opening was marked by a ceremonial launch event held in New Clark City in the Philippines, which hosted what organizers called an "switch-on ceremony" to coincide with the start of public voting. The Philippines-based planned city served as a symbolic backdrop for the initiative, underscoring the role emerging urban centers in Asia and beyond are playing in reimagining metropolitan life.
