Global Vote Opens to Name 7 Wonders of Future Cities
New7Wonders has launched a worldwide public vote to identify the urban developments shaping tomorrow's cities, opening at 7wondersfc.com.
A global campaign to recognize the world's most forward-looking urban developments is officially underway, as the New7Wonders organization opened public voting at www.7wondersfc.com, inviting people worldwide to help select the Seven Wonders of Future Cities.

New7Wonders, the Swiss-based organization known for running large-scale global heritage and landmark campaigns, is coordinating the effort. The initiative positions contemporary urban development projects — rather than historical monuments — as the defining achievements of the current era, reflecting a broader global conversation about sustainable growth, smart infrastructure, and livable city design.
