Global Vote Opens to Crown the 7 Wonders of Future Cities

The initiative is organized by New7Wonders, the Switzerland-based foundation known for running large-scale global polling campaigns around architectural and natural landmarks.

New Clark City served as the symbolic host for the kickoff event, underscoring the Philippine government's ambition to position the planned metropolis as a model of 21st-century urban development.
