Global Vote Launches to Name 7 Wonders of Future Cities
New7Wonders has opened worldwide public voting to identify urban developments shaping tomorrow's cities, with a launch ceremony held in the Philippines.
A global public vote to select the Seven Wonders of Future Cities is now officially underway, with New7Wonders opening balloting at www.7wondersfc.com for internet users worldwide. The campaign kicked off with an "ignition" ceremony held in New Clark City, Philippines, marking the start of what organizers describe as a worldwide civic engagement effort around urban development.
New Clark City, a planned urban center in the Philippines, served as the symbolic launch point for the initiative, lending its profile as an emerging model city to the campaign's opening moment. The choice of venue underscores the broader ambition of the project: to spotlight urban developments across the globe that are actively redefining how cities are conceived and built.
